OH MY Gosh! At the beginging of summer, I bought a Sony Handycam.. It's awesome. Lightwieght and easy to use. It says "HI8/ 8mm Plyaback, Memory stick slot and Touch Panel LCD" on the side of it. You can take pictures with it AND video. It even has a night vision selection where you can take video OR pictures in the dark WITHOUT a light (it also has a light if you eant to use one) I like the night vision feature alot. I think it would be great for taping or taking pictures of new puppies without disturbing them. You can flip the screen out and view thru it or the camera viewer thing. And you can use the menu on the screen simply by touchig your selection! I love it and am having a great time. I also use it to put pictures of my puppers on the net...to friends and family. I'm pleased with the quality of the photos and video and can e-mail you a sample privately if you want.

Should I be looking for some specific features? I have no idea what to buy but I want something that is easy to use and lightweight. I would also like to have ease of playback - I don't want to go through all kinds of gyrations before I can review it in my TV or wherever. Any/all information will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
