[BLU/Officers] BLU camcorder



Hi, guys.

The Kodak Zi-8 mini camcorder is not working right. Even at its best,
it did a poor job
of recording in low-light conditions, and for the past two meetings
that I recorded
wit it, the video was extremely blurry to the point of being
completely useless.
I made several attempts to clean the lens, to no effect.

I'm considering purchasing a new camcorder. I did a search for
low-cost HD camcorders
that work well in low-light conditions, and I found that the Sony
HDR-CX210 showed
a lot of positive reviews. Amazon is currently selling the HDR-CX210
for $327.94, and
The balance in our checking account is currently 1,979.45, so it seems
reasonably
affordable.

I'd like to hear your thoughts before I decide whether to go ahead and purchase
the HDR-CX210.
