I like HardDdrive video but its too new, easy to break it(drop and too pricy) etc than digtal regular camerea.
I m ready to looking for new one. its just for families, baby, and vacations etc.
i want something that is simple with awesome video picture, good zoom distance, easier to transfer to DVD player recorder instead of go thru PC etc.
I like Sony, soo doyou recommend miniDV or regualr 8mm ??
Feedback will be great!

I can tell you that MiniDV is great. Don't know so much about Hi8 other than I thought that format was supposed to be history until I noticed a few camcorders on the market that still use it.
My only experience is with Sony and they have a pretty good picture. I'd like to try the Canon soon, as they look even more promising. HTH.
-Do you believe you own your computer and shouldn't be told what you can run and do? Then say *NO* to Microsoft Vista!
-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.

I bought the DCR-SR80 hard drive for family stuff and we love it! Super easy to use, light weight, "drop guard feature", I don't think I would ever go back to tape!

I does great in low light and transistional (sp) light - going from bright to dark. It has a special night vision feature that is pretty slick!

Do all these camcorders capture in MPEG2? I was just curious because DV AVI makes such huge file sizes but MPEG2 is not a friendly format for re-encoding.

The Sony HDD DCR-SR80 that I have captures in .mpg file. The JVC captures in .mod file, less software support I've been told.

The "easy setting" takes care of practically everything. For software:try the supplied software, it actually works and is easy to use; or Nero Vision.
Have fun!
