magazines and websites?

I'd like to buy a video camera- and I occasionally read the messages here.
I'd like to subscribe to a magazine to learn more and to check out some web
sites with useful info for video neophytes.

Suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Joe

PS: I'm thinking of spending $700-1,000. I'd like a camcorder that will
record well in forests- since I'm a practicing forester. Some of the dense
hardwood forests in the USA Northeast are rather dark in summer. Wide angle
and good resolution preferred so I can show others work done by logging
firms, etc.

Thanks! I checked out their web site and ordered their mag. I've never owned
a vid. cam. so I'm very confused about all the products.

At Best Buy the other day, one of their salesman pointed out that some of
the Sony cams have touch screens. Seems like a nice feature since it should
be much easier to use that than try to make sense out of tiny buttons. My
vision for such stuff and small print ain't what it used to be.
