Love shooting videos of family moments? Invest in a digital camcorder that's lightweight, compact and easy to use to capture those memorable vacation clips. Opt for the Image Stabilization feature which will help keep your videos from being shaky and make them easier to watch. And be sure to shop for a camera with 10x - 20x optical zoom so your subject appears as close as possible. Find several miniDV, DVD, and hard-drive camcorders that fit this description at BizRate.
