I’m having some doubts about buying a digital camera. I mean, why buy a digital camera when you can get a digital camcorder with just a not-so-substantial amount?

Anyhow, I had these second thoughts when I saw my friend Twyla using a Sony Handycam to document my god daughter Ayesha’s birthday (Hmmm… I just remembered that Twyla’s been losing weight lately. I hope she’s not into one of those fat burners like Phenphedrine). She used the HDR-HC7 Mini DV Digital Camcorder. It has a 10x optical/20x digital zoom and can actually capture a 4.6 megapixel still image simultaneously while recording video. I also like the fact that it has the Touch Panel SwivelScreen feature allows you to swivel from just about any shooting angle.

Still, I like taking shots during the night. So I guess I’ll buy Sony’s DCR-HC90 Mini DV digital camcorder. Its intelligent accessory shoe, Super NightShot, and built-in flash makes it possible for you to capture videos intensely even when taken in low light.

Wait a minute?! What am I talking about? I want a DSLR! @_@
