Here's the link to the camera I bought http://tinyurl.com/9ce6jc
Surprised to see that it's now $199. I paid $99 when I got it. I had originally bought the HD700 from Amazon. Was a little bummed when I got it as the LCD screen had a number of dead pixels and there was a white spot on all the video I had shot. I might have just got a bad camera though. Returned it and saw the HD100 for $99 at Walmart and figured, for that price, I'd give it a try. It has it's short-comings. You have to be patient with it and really plan out your shots. It has slow autofocus and not the greatest in low light. No stabilizer. Ect...etc. For $99 and an HD cam, cant really go wrong. I really appreciate the comments on the video!
