I'm looking to buy a MiniDV camcorder and have decided to choose either between the Panasonic NV-GS range and the Sony TVR range. Which would you say is the best value for money (Im tempted towards the Panasonic as it feels nicer to hold). Secondly, I own a Fuji M603 digital camera and am so not interested in purchasing a MiniDV cam for its photo abilities.
Would you say, in this respect, it is worth paying £484 for the Panasonic NV-GS50B with its A/V in and D/V and SD card capabilites, or better value to go for the NV-GS10B model which is the same but without SD, A/V In, DV in or a colour viewfinder. This is priced at £379.

Also regarding connections, what software and connections would you recommend? I am leaning towards Firewire as it sounds more promising. Also would you say MGI VIDEOWAVE4 is ok for a beginner to editing?
Also would Magix Photos on CD and DVD 2.0 priced at £20 be ok for putting my MiniDV recording onto DVD?

One final thing, how does a MiniDV cam play back through the S-Video port on the graphics port?

I also plugged my Mum's Sony TRV118E into the USB (not sure if 1.1 or 2.0) and played it back through Sony Pixela video and it came out absoluty rubbish!!
WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I NEED SOME VITAL TIPS ON EDITING!!!!
