I am shopping around for a color video camera for my VHS portable ( a
Hitachi ), and find the choice difficult. I would like the camera to
be small and light , but need advice on other features :

    o Are the new MOS cameras any good ? ( the RCA for example )
    o Is auto focus an important feature to have ?
    o What is a review button for ?
    o How easy is it to ruin a tube by pointing it at bright lights ?
    o Will an RCA or JVC camera retain it's features with another brand VCR?


 I think I have narrowed my choice down to the solid state RCA unit , and
 the compact JVC unit, but I'm not sure yet.
   Anyone have any suggestions ??
