Image stabilization on both of those are digital, so you don't want to use it.

If you want optical image stabilization, I haven't seen it on any lower priced camcorders. I'm pretty sure you have to step up into the $1200 and up category. An excellent choice if you want to spend that much is the Canon GL. I know a lot of people that shoot adult content on GLs.

However... if you practice and use both hands and learn to brace your camera against your body, you can actually get pretty steady handheld shots even with the smaller cameras and no steadicam.

Also, I wanted to echo Michael's point on lighting. I would much rather have a less expensive camera and excellent lighting than a fabulous camera and shitty lighting. You'll spend some money for good lighting, but it's a wise investment... I'm always amazed at how poor the lighting is on the majority of gay adult content I've seen.
