Don't buy a dvd cam!
They don't like moving subects, they don't like moving (thats why sony made them the size of a small family hatchback), did I mention portability?.
The picture quality is below miniDV, the discs are much more expensive need I go on...
DONT BUY A DVD CAM, if you still swither then you need your head felt.
You'll get much better value with a miniDV cam, much wider choice of features etc.
It's easy to copy dv footage onto VHS, or plug your cam into somebody elses telly with the av leads supplied.
If you have a PC you'd be surprised how easy it is to copy miniDV onto a format such as VCD, SVCD or DVD.
Don't buy a dvd cam. I know where you live, so just don't right!.
