    I am looking to purchase a new video camera and
    could use some expert advice.  I video tape stock car racing at a small
    asphalt track.  The lighting is always an issue. I currently use a Canon
    GL2, but the picture is not as clear as I would like.  I have 2 GL2s
    and I have had to send them to Canon service multiple times to have the
    dv in connection repaired---at $400 a pop, that cuts into profits
    significantly.

    </tr>
    </tbody>
    </table>

    Oh, and I want to stick with the miniDV tapes.  I record to a
    portable hd, but I like to have the tapes as a back up.  I edit with
    Adobe Premiere CS3.  I Also have an audio mixer on the camera that I
    plug into the mixer board to pick up the announcer.

    Thanks for any help you can give me.

    Keep in mind that I kind of got thrown into this gig with no previous
    video experience.  My brother set me up with all my equipment and
    showed me how to set it up and use it, that's about all I know!

    You may want to ask a guy I know who does race video a LOT.  His name is Bill Channell - http://www.RaceVideo.com.  Bill (Pops) is a great guy and filled with good info!
