I totally disagree!  I've got a Canopus ADVC-100 *and* a Sony MiniDV 
camera.  I bought the ADVC-100, somewhere around 6 months before I 
got the camera, knowing I'd get the camera.  I'd much rather have the 
ADVC-100 dedicated to converting Analog video to Digital, than trying 
to hook up my MiniDV camera when I need to convert something.
