We need to purchase a good quality camcorder, any tips on brands and 
models? Here's our criteria:

- Good in low light conditions (2 lux or less)
- Good with tricky light conditions, like a bright PC monitor in a 
dark room
- Very good image stabilization so we can skip a tripod when doing 
some field work
- MiniDV format
- As small as possible, to be less intimidating to the users
- A jack for an external microphone if needed
- An option for a very long life battery


We would appreciate any advice people have.

Thanks very much,
