A good camcorder for low light? I am buying a new camcorder for my trip to Disneyland and am considering the Panasonic SDR-H18, PV GS320 or the Sony DCR SR62. Which one of these performs better in low light conditions? Any advice in regards to purchasing a camcorder in the less than 600 dollar range would be much appreciated.

The Sony has a lux rating of 4 without the use of its super nightshot plus infrared system.
