HT home movies, minidv camcorder buying help
i'm starting to look for a minidv camcorder to buy my fiancee (and of course myself) for Christmas. I have looked mainly at Sony's b/c we have a sony wega hdtv. im not sure what advantages i would have with sony over other brands as far as connectivity (note, my tv has a sony memorystick reader) Anyways, does anybody here own one and have any recommendation? Im looking in the 500 range, and i cant swing the cash for a HD minidv i dont think. Ive also looked at the miniDVD ones, but with the dvd only holding 30 minutes, doesnt seem worth it. I have a dvd burner, so i will probably go that route for playback. I would like any advice on features, what to look for/ stay away from since i dont know much about this subject. btw, i have a nice digital camera, so i'm not concerned with a camcorder's still pic capabilities. thanks.
