i am looking into purchasing a camcorder and im not sure about any of them.. i was originaly wanting a dvd camcorder but then i realized i would need a dvd recorder to make copies of dvd's for family which is very expensive and i am having problems determining which dvd recorder to get. so now i am thinking of getting a mini dv camcorderder.. but how would you make copies of that.. would i need a dvd recorder also? or can i copy the home movbies to a cd-r to send to family.. etc.. and if you can do that which would be a good digital camcorder to get.. one that is not very pricy but has a lot of bells and whistles and quality still pictures for teh money
