    i would get a DV cam over DVD for a couple of reasons.
    1. you will get more for your money in features.
    2. easier to find DV tapes than miniDVDs. Sony released 1 camera that used minidiscs to record on. it seemed like a great idea, but they only released 1 model.
    3. any time that you record on a disc, there is a period of time that it takes to run through the burning process. that means that you sit there for a minute or 2 while it works its stuff. alos, tapes cant get scratched or skip.
    4.miniDVD quality is just as good or better than DVD.
    5. if you want to take the movie to be edited somewhere, they will most likely have editing equipment for DV.

    i like the Sony models, try to get the carl zeiss lens if possible.
