I use a Panasonic DGV60 Mini DV. Just bought it a few days ago so I'm in my learning curve -- hope that curves upword.

Sony Hi8 work just fine, thank you

For as little as I use it, the 6-7 year old SONY Hi8 works just fine. We have used it on several European holidays with great sucess. Would I buy another Hi8? No. I'd probably research a digital format of some kind and go with something much smaller that wouldn't take up as much space - I always carry a DSLR along with a selection of lenses on trips - which takes up most of my alotted photography equipment space.
What video format do I use?

My camcorder is a Panasonic VHSC Palmcorder. It is lightweight and easy to handle, and I often use a tripod. Am in the process of taping my husband relaying stories of his childhood to share with the family.
What type of video format does my camcorder use?
by counselor2000 - 7/3/06 9:36 AM In reply to: Which type of video format does your camcorder use? by Marc Bennett
I bought 3 Sony Digital 8 camcorders about 3 years ago to use in videoing weddings. Recently I bought a Panasonic Mini DV camcorder and I use all 4 in taping weddings. I mix and edit the resulting tapes and make a Master Copy of the DVD. I also video the Wedding rehearsal and rehearsal dinner and all the activities of the Wedding Day including the Pre- and Post Wedding picture sessions and the reception, etc.
Although the picture is excellent from the Panasonic, I find it really no better than the Sonys. The Panasonic does not perform quite as well in low light situations, such as candlelit dinners, etc. I have been very happy with the Sonys, but the Panasonic seems to be performing well, too.

At home, I have a Sony Digital 8 that I've had for a number of years. I have been very happy with the quality of video I get from it. Although it's a little larger than miniDV, I actually prefer the little extra heft.
Being happy with Sony, I bought a miniDV from Sony for use at my workplace.
Getting back to home use, my first ''camcorder'' was a docking RCA VCR with a handheld Konica camera. This used standard full size VHS tapes. You would actually disconnect the tape recorder unit from the tuner unit, carry the half-VCR on your shoulder in a huge carry bag, and connect the camera to it with a screw in type plug. I had this from about 1984 to 1990. It cost about $1000 when new. The camera had poor light sensitivity so we needed to use spotlights to get decent video indoors. It was fine outdoors. I think I still have the unit around somewhere and it probably would still work.
In 1990, I bought a full size Hitachi camcorder for about $800. This was the type you'd kind of prop up on your shoulder. Again, this used VHS tapes. I kept it in use until about 2001 when the batteries and/or charger stopped functioning. It can still be used by plugging it in to a standard wall outlet.
Being happy with my old Hitachi, I bought a Hitachi digital 8 in 2001 for about $400. That only lasted a few months. Luckily, although it was outside of labor warranty, it was still under parts warranty. As it turned out, the part was unavailable and I got a full refund. I replaced this with my current Sony at about the same $400 price.

NHJ Brand 3.0MP MPEG-4 Digital Movie Imager, Accepts SD Card
by torchfanatic - 7/6/06 1:59 PM In reply to: Which type of video format does your camcorder use? by Marc Bennett
This unit has a 4x Digital Zoom, 1.4 inch swing out LCD screen and a TV output. It takes still pictures or video. It has a 16MB internal memory and accepts SD Cards up to 1GB capacity. It is really small, but the buttons are big enough for most mens hands. My only complaints involve the lack of a flash unit and it does have a fairly healthy appetite for batteries, though I have witnessed much worse. As I purchased it on the Ubid auction site for under $40.00 including shipping and it really works well, I really can't complain.
MPEG-4

My main camcorder right now (Pentax Optio M) uses high-speed SD Media at about 40 minutes per gigabyte in MP4 format. It shoots 30fps at 640x480, most of the other digital camcorders in the price range of this one shoot 320x240.
For editing, I've been using the video editors with Nero, Roxio and even Windows XP's Movie producer. I'm not doing high-end, so it's no problem. I like Nero's editor, but I've been using the Microsoft product to convert videos down to pocket-pc sized formats.
I picked up a DXG camera/camcorder for under $100, and it performs like an under $100 camera. Focus is fairly random, low light exposures are laughable. But for what I purchased it for (mostly taking snapshots at work for manuals) it meets the need. But I'd definitely NOT use it even for vacation videos.
