DV cam Comparison

[Karl Seilo]

I'm preparing to purchase a new prosumer DV camera and I'm looking for  
some advice on comparing two different models.  I don't have the budget  
to purchase the XL1, GL2, Panasonic HD, JVC PDX10 or the outrageously  
priced Sony DV cameras.  So, I've been studying the Panasonic DV953 and  
the JVC SR 3000 -- both priced under $1,000.  Although both products  
are an excellent value and offer outstanding 3-CCD video, the Pana  
DV953 seems to have a 'touchy' zoom control (hard to 'feather') and the  
JVC SR3000 loads from the bottom making it extremely annoying to load  
when shooting from a tripod.  Any thoughts, please?   Thanks for any  
input -- especially from the guys that shoot a lot.
