One point with digital video cameras we (I) learned the hard way was
to be sure the model you purchase can be connected to a computer for
using editing software, such as iMovie. We had ordered a dvd model
but it could not be connected to the computer. Fortunately, we were
able to exchange it for one of the Canon ZR series that could be
connected. Just an FYI.

For all of our classroom video editing projects (such as with
iMovie), we have the Canon ZR series. We have different models in
the buildings--since we have added throughout over the years, but
have had very good luck with them. Those that have gone bad
(usually tape loading mechanism)--we send them in to Canon and they
are repaired within quick turn around for a minimal amount of
money. Looks like they are working on pricing via the IEC
site . . .this was on Best Buy just to give you an idea of pricing:
Canon - MiniDV Camcorder with 2.7" LCD Monitor - Silver
Model: ZR960
37x optical/2000x digital zoom; DIGIC DV technology; motion sensor
$249.99
