Help me choose-

I'm looking at mini-dv camcorders in the under $300 range for my brother (new father). Still image quality is irrelevant, since we are already getting him a p&s digi-cam. What should I get?

Thanks.

Have a look at the reviews page and have a read of the Mini Dv vs DVD thread as this will help to explain some of the differences in the technology. once you have narrowed down what you want a little bit, then go and have a play with a few of them in your local store, as physical comfort when holding these items is important. let us know how you go especially if you have anymore questions.
