I am looking for a good camera that I can stealth some shows with but that also has a a/v input so I can run my helmet cam when I snowboard & ride my four wheeler. So I am looking for something smallish with good low light performance as well as image stabilization. Budget is about $500 new or used so I figure Mini-DV. I like what I read about the Panisonic cams but they usually don't have inputs, looks like it has to be a Sony?
