What kind of video camera do you have?

[Got Smoke?]

I'm looking to purchase a new Digital Camera as my old 8mm Sony is starting to slowly give up the ghost.



I had been looking at some DVD & Mini-DVD palm cams, but found out they ususally only record an hour at the longest. That really stinks because I could get 3 sometimes 4 truck pulls on one 8mm tape. I had been looking at the JVC Camera with built in hard drive, no mini-DV's, DVD's, etc. , but they run around $800 and I can't drop that kind of $$$ on a camera.



Can anybody recommend a good compact camera for around $400-500 that records at least an hour to 1. 5 hrs, had decent battery life, and I can hook up to my PC to make DVD's.

I can't help much with your questions, but I have a Sony Hi8 that I'll let go for much less than you want to spend on a new one. PM me if interested. I've only used it a couple of times, so it has much life left in it.



If you're set on a new one, check out a Costco store. I was checking out a new mini DVD Sony camera last night. $699 I think was their price.
