Panny if you want a Plasma TV and Sony for camcorders - just what I've found in my experience.
I have a Sony DCR-TRV19e for about 2 years now and it's been fecking brilliant, no problems with dirt on heads or anything and I've been on some very dusty days at rallycross etc. and as Eagle said, the lens on them is brilliant!
I don't see a need to change it even though it's 'old' tech. now
Just my personal experience though - I do look after my equipment though which I think helps my stuff to last longer! Alot of stuff returned to retail outlets is due to people dropping them or just generally not looking after stuff!
