If you plan to use it for higher-end productions, I'd still recommend DV tape which records in a more lossless format - but requires capturing through Firewire to a computer.

What I don't like are dvd cameras. Highly compressed and small capacity.
Or a capture device that uses USB...BTW doesn't it also take longer to get the video from tape to your PC?
