But for my question, I have a S7000 Fuji 9mp camera. But I want a nice Video camera that is between $400-$600 max, BUT NOT MADE BY SONY! What do you guys recommend?
I want some good pics and such of the LCF as soon as it taxi over from the 787/Vaught side to ours. And some nice video of show it self.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

I despise the heartless over prices company. Normally if you pay for Sony's good stuff, you have to pay alot, and at that point you are in the price range of better stuff.

Don't get me wrong Sony makes some great stuff, but they are over priced, like the AV receiver I want that they make is $1,200-$1,500 for a 7.1 with all the stuff I want. But..If you go to B&K or Harmencarda, or the higher end models they are the same price with better stuff, and more options.
