[MacDV] Re: Small, high quality DV camera?

[bob]

I have been considering buying a Panasonic PVDV953 - 3 CCD's at that 
price with Zebra, Gain, etc,,, WOW.  I do a lot of Natural  Light 
shooting and am currently using a Canon ZR-45 which isn't too bad 
inside without additional lighting. I have been looking for reviews and 
haven't found any that answer my most important question about the 
PVDV953 - how is it in low light (average home interior lighting) ?

I would appreciate your opinion

PS What camera were you using before the PVDV953?

Thanks,
bob
