What's a good type of MiniDV camera to buy?

Question

I'm looking to buy a good MiniDV camera for under $200. What's the best brand (Sony, Panasonic, Canon, etc.) to buy?

Also I'm looking to make movies from the videos from the camera to download onto my computer and I hear MiniDV is the best for that. Is that true? Thanks

Answer 1

sony!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

Under $200? I don't think there is one (from Sony, Panasonic, Canon)... You can try the Canon ZR800...

And yes, miniDV tape provides the best available video quality due to the least amount of compression applied to the digital video stream stored to the miniDV tape...
