My wife and I are looking at finally buying a camcorder from modern times. (Our old one still uses VHS tapes! ) I want something decent that I can use to edit movies, etc. In looking, there seem to be any number of recording formats available. Does anyone have any experience with the hard drive camcorders? I've looked at a couple that were 30gigs and around $600. This would give 7 hours of recording before having to be downloaded. I don't know if this would be a better way to go than mini dv. I've read a couple of reports that indicated the hard drive is very difficult to edit with due to the compression format used on them. As a raw rookie, difficult to edit is not what I need if that is true. Any advice or thoughts would be appreciated.
And yes, Michael, I'm about to order the DVD now that I'm getting a camera!
