If you have a lot of old Hi-8 cassettes lying around an option would be
the Digital-8, cassettes aren't as expensive as the DV's
as you use Hi-8's except you get less time on it. Not a bad option for
something that gives you up to 500 lines of horizontal resolution.
I've only used sony camcorders, but I recommend them without reservation.

I need a camcorder. 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!
