Every few months I watch my neighbor accidentally drive into his garage...with his mountain bikes still on top of his truck. I don’t want to be that guy ! Especially in the door of the plane. For some reason I would like to be as compact as possible in freefall. BUT, If side mount is a pain in the neck, then maybe top mount is for me. The PC-1000 is $800...AND the HC-5 is only $850 at B&HPhotoVideo ! Then I can video my neighbor in 1080i HDV cursing in his driveway for 45 minutes ! THANKS EVERYONE

I am going to start videoing this summer and I am TORN on a camcorder I definitely want side mount ! here are my findings so far ! PRICE: Sony= PC 1000 refurbished $800 Canon= Hv 10 NEW $800 RECORD: Sony= 530 lines of horizontal resolution Canon= true 1080 high Definition resolution video in 16:9 format, (1920 x 1080) (wow) SYSTEM: Sony= SteadyShot® Picture Stabilization System Canon= Super-Range, Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) ?? STILL: Sony= 2.7 Megapixel 3 CMOS sensors Canon= 2.96 Megapixel 3 CMOS sensors *DUEL CAPTURE: Sony = LANC (Accessory) Terminal: Yes (mini) (does not say the # of stills per Video?) Canon= record HD video and capture a 2 Megapixel photo to a memory card simultaneously. But does not show a LANC port TESTED: Sony = Yes, by skydivers Canon = unknown (German international Boards only) SHARE TIPS: Sony = fellow jumpers know it all Canon =Im on my own My biggest thing is if the Stabilization is the same I want to go with the Canon HighDef...But I also need to take stills while rolling video and the manuals tell me very little about that .#^*%! Thanks for any advice !
