Bill,

Thanks so very much for your post- you have been the most helpful by far!!! I have to admit- I forgot my optics lessons from years ago and have been getting by for years by using less of the features in these cameras… But, I would like to stop faking and actually learn the differences…so- the camera I know so well- the MC2000U has a 12x G Lens, 29.8-357.6mm with f/1.8-34 and a minimum 3 lux- the new JVC has a 29.5-47.6mm (35mm equiv.) and a f/1.2-2.8 lens. The VG30 has 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3-

What does all of this really mean- thanks in advance for taking the time to explain it to me….

Dave
