purchasing camcorder
Jun 24, 2006 6:07AM PDT

I, too, am looking at camcorders. I will be seeing my 11 month old granddaughter who lives cross country. I am doing research for best buy, best value and quality at budget price. { can't spoil her if I pay too much for the camcorder and can't afford the trip - right?} Why not a DVD and why a mini DV? Help.
I know which features I want but the many types of camcorders is confusing.
Please expound!
