Well, I bought my Video Camera it is this baby featured here a Panasonic SDR-7.
I got it at a great deal!
Thanks for all your input!
I will try it out tomorrow at the kids schools sports days.
One drawback is the battery.
It has a lifespan of about an hour on steady use, but stopping starting, pausing, zooming all drains the battery making it a 40 minute battery.
