anyone know of any good camcorders that burn right to the mini dvd? i've seen a bunch out there but i dont know if they are any good. i want it to be small and it needs to be inexpensive!! thanks!

 

ive got one...never even used it. it looks pretty neat though. i think i got it at sams for like 450 or something...came with mini-dvd, tripod stand, bag, all kinds of stuff. had it almost a year now...

Sony.................

 

I agree with annabelle. Sony makes a great camcorder. They have the type that burn to DVD and they also have the hard drive models.

 

guess i'll have to go check them out. i'm getting ready to deploy to afghanistan (2nd deployment....) and i want to be able to send home videos to the wife. thanks for the replies!!

 

We have a Hitachi that burns to the mini DVDs. I think it is a DX-35 maybe? Pretty good camera, the only complaint that I have is that it doesn't have a light on the front, but it does pretty good without it. I picked ours up for $200 slightly used, but I think a new one is about $350. They had them at Wal-mart.

 

Get the one that burns to a hard drive not DVD. I bought a DVD camcorder, it works great and all but you are limited to formats and have to buy an aftermarket program if you ever want to edit or up load to a pc.
With a hard drive type model there are no limits.

 

Just bought the Sony handycam and LOVE it 2000 digital zoom and night vision. uses the mini discs.

 

i know the hard drive ones are better for editing and whatnot but i want the mini dvd one for the simplicity of it. it's much easier to send the wife a dvd from over there, put it in the dvd player and push play, then to try and send her a file nd try to explain to her how to get it to play. neither one of us is very good with computers. but thanks for all the suggestions, and keep em coming if ya got em. THANKS!!
