I have a very good dSLR as well, with the capability of taking video.
But the VIXIA beats the camera easily!

And I am stubborn enough to not want to continuously deal with zooming
in and out, with a different transition between each scene or with all
sorts of fancy add-ons. I like things simple.
The wedding video I was making for our son, was finished this afternoon
and burned to a DVD. I'm happy with the visual part of it, just have to
try and tone down the background noise some in a few places.
I used only one transition between clips, additive dissolve. Each
"chapter" begins with a still that zooms in.
That's it. Played it on the television, and except for some of the
sound, I am happy with it. My son better be, too!

My computer was purchased after I had Premiere Elements and found it a
pain-you-know-where to work on my XP machine. It's now on a Win7 and
with 8GB memory and a TB hard drive, it works great. Can't remember the
other specs offhand, but think the processor is i-7 or something like that.

May catch up with you.... Our oldest granddaughter is getting married in
August ;-)
