12/28   Should I get a camcorder for 8mm or VHS-C? VHS-C is attractive
        because I can just pop my tape into a VHS player.
        \_ Get 8mm -- higher quality, and if you want VCR hookup, there's
           always good ole A/V coax cable
           \_ Get one that also supports Hi8.
        \_ Use linux. Ride bike.

        \_ DV Camera!

2/26    Are there relatively cheap HD camcorders (<$10K) that can stream
        directly to a high-end (PCIe) PC?  I'm trying to see if the new
        Sony camcorder has this capability, but have not gotten any real
        answers.
        \_ at the macworld keynote, steve jobs talked about a new really cheap
           ($3500) camera that does HD. not sure if it does what you want,

12/10   Is it worth getting a DV camcorder?
        \_ Versus what?  An analog camcorder, no camcorder, or a digital camera
           with video function?
           \_ vs. no camcorder

7/13    A friend wants to make a documentary with a digital camcorder. She has
        about a $3000 budget, give or take, for the camera alone (not tripod
        and such). People seem to recommend Canon. Anyone here have one? Is
        there something else she should look into? If she doesn't have to
        spend her whole budget so much the better. She's new to this digital
        stuff, but not to film making. She's considering the XL1S and GL2.

8/30    I'm interested in buying a camcorder.  Does anyone have any
        recommendations for a model/brand at a nice price-performance point?
        Thanks!
        \_ I did some shopping for analog ones for my aunt two years ago.  The
           Sony CCD-TRV series seemed pretty good back then.  I ended up with
           a CCD-TRV46.  -- yuen
