What is the best DVD Sony Camcorder to buy?

Q. I want to upgrade from my Hi-8 Sony camcorder. Which is the best to buy without being too expensive. I will use it to video my kids and family. Is there a way to put my
Hi-8 videos on DVD? Thank you for answering.

A. Here's a good website to learn about DVD camcorders:

You can look through the reviews and find the best DVD camcorder in your price range.

As far as converting Hi8 videos to DVD, here's a helpful guide:

if you only need to do a straight transfer to DVD - without any editing on a computer - then you best option may be to use a stand-alone DVD recorder. For example: http://hometheater.about.com/cs/toppicks/tp/aatpdvdrecorder.htm


what camera should I buy to replace the three I have?
Q. I am tired of carrying 3 cameras everywhere I go! I have the following: (1) a small point and shoot digital camera, 2 years old, (needed for its convenient size, instant picture review, and ease of e-mailing pictures), (2) a Minolta Maxuum 35 mm, 17 years old, with various lenses (needed for taking wide angles, telephotos, and doing creative photography that the digital one can't handle), and (3) a digital tape (mini DV) camcorder, 3 years old. I have been carrying all three of them around all week while hiking in the Grand Canyon, and have decided I need to find one camera that will do everything I need! Don't want to spend a fortune, but want something that is fully digital, gives the quality and lens changing options of the Minolta, and takes videos. Oh yes, and preferably is not too heavy! Does such a camera exist? What is it called? How much does it cost? THANK YOU!

A. Edit: nvm, the Canon XTi and Nikon D80 do not allow movie clips. The prosumer Canon S5 IS does and it's the best choice after the previous two for photo shooting and versatility that I know of. (It has 12X zoom, it's compact, it has 8 mps, and it's a canon so the image quality should most likely be very good.) I don't think you can change the lens on it though.

Use the features search under buying guide on dpreview.com. It's your best bet for a movie camera that allows you to change lens as well. Choose SLR-Like cameras because I didn't see any SLR cameras that allow movie shooting. These should all cost between 400-1000+.

I keep editing my answer to your question because it's such a difficult and interesting question. I hope that you would be able to find such a camera.
