I remember reading an review not long ago that recommended MiniDV over DVD/HDD camcorders and MiniDVD. The reason? New camcorders compress the image so much that they make the output awful. The only drawback is getting it onto your computer (MiniDV is a tape format). DVD/HDD camcorders have a DVD or hard drive for storage. Also, tapes last longer than the other formats. If you use HDD, you can risk losing it all if your computer crashes and DVD's won't last forever.

I was making a joke. 
I was trying to sell you an $80 camera for $200.
MiniDV is the way to go IMO, it uses tapes but most use SD memory cards also (Like the two I bought.) so you can have videos that a pure digital and nothing is stored on the tape.
They also use better technology then the old Hi8 video cameras which is what I think your old one is.
MiniDV is the best bang for your buck IMO.

I have to revive this for today. I don't know if this is a decent camera or not but it's cheaper than it's available for on Ebay. It's been out for about 3 years though. One day only: Canon ZR500 MiniDV Camcorder $179.99+ $5 shipping
