I'm about to purchase my first digital video camera and am leaning towards at Mini DV camera at present. However, my laptop computer has 512 MB RAM, 30 GB HD, 1 CD burner - so I would need to get an external dvd burner to make dvds. It only has two USB 1.0 ports so is it capable of transferring the data 1. between camera and computer and 2. between computer and DVD burner? Can anyone advise on reasonably priced editing software?
Also, are there any recommendations for a camera - I'm currently looking at either a Sony DCRHC48 or DCRHC96 for no other reason than I'm happy with my cybershot.
Regards
