Camcorders: Sony DCR-HC62 VS Cannon ZR930

Sony DCR-HC62 VS Cannon ZR930

I'm trying to decide between two camcorders and I've narrowed it down to these two. I have both spec sheets in front of me and they are dang close, here are the inputs for consideration.

Use- Home movies, my kids playing ball, that kind of thing, nothing very demanding

Price- Up to 300.00

Format- Mini DV

Still pics- Don't care, we use digital cameras for that reason

Transfer to a computer- Highly important, I copy family videos to the computer and then make DVDs for family living out of state.

Why I'm thinking the ZR930-
Cost, it's about 70 bucks cheaper than the Sony.
It has an infrared remote, that will make for very easy "copy to the CPU" sessions since I can just use the remote vs the camera controls
It's highly rated for a budget camera

Why I'm thinking about the DCR-HC62-

I've used Sony camcorders before (borrowed from a friend) and I really enjoyed the overall experience.
I can go pick it up at the base exchange so it's tax free (but still 70 bucks more) and I can more easily return it if I don't like it/it has problems
It has decent reviews on multiple websites


Specs:
DCS-HC62 ZR930

Price 299.00 (local pickup) 230.00 (online)

Sensor 1/6" CCD 1/6" CCD

Still pics Yes, 1 MG No

Video pixels 670K(16:9) 450K(16:9)

Optical zoom 25X 37X

LCD 2.7" 2.7"

Of course I've got all the other specs here but those seemed the most important. I'm leaning towards the Sony since I can pick it up locally and it has a higher pixel count for video. The question is, is that 70 dollar premium worth the higher pixel count, the fact that I like Sony camcorders etc? The fact that that the Sony captures stills doesn't help me so the extra cost for that reason is a wash. Is there anything else I'm missing? In truth, these will probably both work fine for what I'm doing but I love to analyze the heck out of these things.

Thanks in advance,
