Without a doubt, this is the best camera in its category, quite simply because it has no direct competition. There are no other three-chip shoulder-mounted MiniDV cameras on the market for less than $3,000. Sony's, Canon's, and JVC's entry-level shoulder-mount cameras cost substantially more. That said, the AG-DVC60 is not really the equal of its higher-priced competitors, in large part because this Panasonic has a fixed lens and smaller 1/4-inch CCDs. But the AG-DVC60 offers amazing bang for the buck, and it's a perfect fit for low-end event work and the education market.
