I've got a Panasonic NV DS28B its no longer a current model but it works fine with linux (lm9.0 here using IEEE1394). Kino is fine for linux, I use 0.5 but I see that 0.6 is available. I can import video to my box do editing (cut, paste trim etc) and rudimentary effects( create title sequences from jpegs from gimp, do fades,wipes etc) then either export back to the camera (make sure the camera has an import facility) or save to disk then convert to mpeg4 or other formats with transcode or mencoder. Avidemux is good for splitting files replacing sound etc (but not for raw video) and I hear good reports for cinellera but I have not used it. HTH Pete Ardnamurchan Scotland
