Ok, so I wasn't planning on having to ever replace my TRV-950 which I love and have gotten great professional results from... however I just went out of town and came back to find that my beloved 950 was stolen from my shop, along with the Sennheiser G2 Receiver.
What are the "desirable" camcorders for someone like me that shoots How To DVD's using miniDV. I don't shoot 16x9 and HDV or HD isn't something I must have. I already have enough storage issues with just regular standard def video. My videos will never be shown in a theater so I don't care about 24p....
I've always been partial to Sony camcorders too.
I would be using this for documenting my growing 4 year old son as well as for professional use--which is why the 950 was perfect for me, and image quality was exceptional. Any suggestions if I'm going to be spending $1,500-$2,500??

haha yes, I've become a DV-L lurker!!! I found two of them on eBay..that I had my eyes on...but as luck would have it, the minute I hit SEND, the "stolen" camcorder turned up....much to my relief, and everyone around here that there isn't a thief among us.
But since I'm now thinking about other options, I'm still interested in reading about my options. I appreciate the article links--I will go do some reading.
