Help on which camcorder to buy?

Jan 23, 2005 6:24AM PST

I am new to this and would like to purchase a camcorder which I can make a video and burn it to a cd on my computer. I have software in the computer which I believe is Roxio. Just looking for some help on buying a reasonable corder that will do the job. Just interested in sending cd's to far away family members and it doesn't need to be that high of quality. Thanks

Yes most cameras will do this, but if you want to convert older VHS tapes you will have to get one that does the analog to digital pass through. Not all cameras will do this!! So check the specs for the camera. John
