I am looking into three differant kinds of Camcorders. WE are moving to ZAMBIA Africa. I am clueless about camcorders. I was interested in Dv DVD or built in Memory. Anyone have any points seeing that the DVDs and DV Tapes are not easy to get...and would also like to send video via internet..Web cam.to family possibly? Please help...Need info leaving July 4th..Been searching but I am very very confused. We Have a notbook computer PC 100 GB Looking into the Sony Handy cam Dv DCR-HC32 and the DCR-DVD7 Mini Dvd cam and the JVC EverIo GV-MG40u 20 GB Hard disc..These are my choices.

We have the same problem a few days back but i found out that these two brands are the most suitable for my taste and ive looked all their functions from software to camera itself.its the best,the problem for me is the format[PAL to NTSC]in my country we used NTSC and when i check in the store the staff told me it support PAL,comes into my mind is even though it is a HARDDISK it cares with that format.pls if you have about that can you clarifythat.thanks from the philippines.
