Digital Video Camera

[jswitzer77]

I'm looking for a digital video camera. I'm finally going to upgrade from the one I got when DS7 was born! I'm having trouble finding the tapes to record on...LOL Any recommendations on good brands, specific things to look for when buying, etc? I will be buying this for myself for Christmas...and putting the DH and 2 DS's as the FROM.

 

I'm clueless about them so any information you can share to make my decision a smart one, I will really appreciate!

I am also interested in the opinions here, I also want a new video camera and am overwhelmed by the options out there...

I am looking for one too. I don't yet know if I want one with a memory card, or an internal hard drive thingy. Suggestions anyone? Also need suggestions on zoom, pixels, etc. I would be using it for kids playing sports, vacations, etc. And could someone tell me how you get the videos off the camera? Thanks.
