[MacDV] Camera selection

[Preston]

I have a Sony digital8. they are cheap and actually quite good, but 
unless you need to use it to import Hi8 or regular 8mm into your Mac, 
I'd say go for MiniDV.

I would not get started "collecting" at tape format that you will not 
be able to use with your future camera purchases. I say this assuming 
that you will indeed want to upgrade your camera at some point. And 
you can't do a whole lot of upgrading within the Digital8 lineup.

FWIW
