Reviews for Digital Camcorders?

bluprint asks: "I've been looking for information regarding digital camcorders. Googling for 'digital camcorder reviews' (and other variations) of course brings up tons of results, but I thought I would get input from the slashdot crowd. Does Slashdot have any suggestions on these camcorders considering price, features and quality? I plan to use it for my summer vacation, but also intend to keep it for many years (possibly even after I have kids, in a couple years), so I'm willing to spend a little more for something high quality, which uses media that will be around for a while. I'm not interested in fancy/artistic things like video editing on my computer, I just want high quality video, preferably keeping it under $1000. Are there suggestions on where to read some thorough, quality reviews of different products, and maybe even educate myself about what to look for in a digital camcorder?"

You need the most powerful zoom you can find. The bigger the zoom, the further away you can be from the nudist beach.

and all you'll see is huge pink squares on your screen where the nipples should be.

My TV seems to be really bad then, I saw a big star-shaped thingy instead of a tit during the Superbowl.
