PV-DV53 Mini-DV Digital Camcorder

Most of today's MiniDVs and Digital8 camcorders range in weight from 1.2 lbs to 1.8 lbs, and they fit comfortably in the palm of your hand-if not your pocket. If camcorder size is important to you, keep in mind that camera size is usually dictated by the size of the digital view screen. Those who insist on a 3.5-inch screen, should know that the entire camcorder is going to be sized accordingly! The most common versions now have 2 to 2.5-inch view screens, and those with no view screens at all can afford the most compact size.
