Re: OT: bad news, good news, bad news

I suggest miniDV. Its pretty versatile, looks good, and will probably be around for at least a few more years. It's also a good compression, and there's plenty of tools for working with it, i.e. iMovie.

During the day time, I'm a video editor, and miniDV has made my job a lot easier over the past ten years. So I'm a fan. If you have money burning a hole in your pocket, JVC and Panasonic make High Def consumer cameras for about a grand.

Bad news... someone broke into my house and stole all my cameras. :(

Good news... none of my musical equipment was taken.  Cops said it's kids looking for small untraceable stuff.  I guess cameras are easy.  Guitars are not.

Bad news... my video camera was a Sony Digital8 which is a dead format and nobody makes D8 cameras anymore.  I've already started the E-Bay watch so I can at least get something I can transfer all my old tapes from.  What are people's thoughts on the 'new' video formats?  HDD?  DVD? MemStick?
