Howdy all,

With my first child on the way, I find myself in the market for a digital 
camcorder.  I have never owned a camcorder of any kind so I really don't 
have a clue what to look for.  I can figure that out mostly.  My question is 
about formats.  There seem to be a variety of formats miniDV, mini-dvd, 
DVD-RAM, etc.  I have no idea which is better.

Here is what I want:  small, i want to be able to make DVDs with my computer 
using video captured with this camera and I want it to look decent.  Oh 
yeah, I don't want it to cost an arm and leg as I'm about to have two more 
arms and two more legs to take care of.  ;-)

Thanks in advance,

Frank Farmer
Jackson, Miss.
