Sony DCR-HC26E/Canon MV920/Panasonic PV-GS180

Hi,

Need a basic but good digicam (no need for stills) to shoot family/birthdays and holidays etc. Nothing too fancy cos I'll be editing via apple's iMovie and add some simple mucic as background. The most my budget can stretch to is under 2k but I really need a good reason if I do this.

2nd question -Should I stick to miniDV? I keep my tapes in a electronic drybox and they seem fine.

Or should I just stick to my aging Canon MV4iMC?

hi pal,

i am no video pro. there are many articles on the net which discuss abt the pros and cons fo the different form of media-mini dv, dvd-rw, hard disk. it boils downs to your budget and yr needs.

with yr budget, u can get quite a decent videocam.
