Personally I would go with the MiniDV camera if you wish to edit the footage at all. DVD is more limited in that but quicker in being able to view on your computer or TV. Both are far better than what you had. Hard to go wrong with a Sony or Canon. Models will depend so much on what you actually want or need. Panasonic makes a great camera but it is in the 3 or 4 grand range and there are many models in the 400 dollar range that are more than adequate for what you want. Just do not worry about the amount of digital zoom as you will not want to use it anyways. Lots of optical zoom on most cameras.

My old Sharp VHS camera doesn't work any more, and I'm going to have to get some footage of grandchildren. I see there are DVD cameras and mini DV cameras. Are these state of the art. Which is better? What brand? Which model? Help! Paul -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus. Version: 7.0.338 / Virus Database: 267.9.4/57 - Release Date: 22/07/2005
