Paul, I have also been tied up on the Canon/Sony debate. I am tied between the Canon ZR-60 and the Sony TRV-19. Both have pretty good quality. The big thing is the price difference. The Canon is about $700.00 and the Sony over $1000.00 (this is Canadian dollars we are talking). The Canon out classes the Sony in many ways... msotly price and the fact it has analog input. The Sony is overpriced with the lack of features. I like Sony don't get me wrong (own a Sony Cybershot) but the Canon has a better set of core features and better support Macs I think. I cannot even get my Sony uSB CD-WR to work under Mac OS X. Sheee...
