what video camera should I get?

[jonb]

You guys seem to be experts so I thought I would ask your opinion... I am looking to get a new video camera and am not sure what to get. Will be traveling more next year and also wanted to post some video for my new web page and maybe even on this site. My old camera is on the verge. It is outdated anyways... one of those mini VHS things that you need the adapter to play in the VCR.. whats good now, those mini dvd things?

Thanks,
Jon

I like the minidv tapes over the dvd discs. Ive heard of many problems with the disks.

I like the minidv as well. The one thing I forgot was to get the firewire card for my new computer. Now I can't download anything until I install a card.

Most of the cameras will hook up to a tv with an av cable and no need for a vcr.
