they are the better brands at either consumer or professional level. Even
though tape is a pain that is what we use, we bought the best consumer HD

because they change so quickly. I would suggest that you also need to
consider the accessories in terms of getting everything in your budget.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Dear RNLD crew,<br>
<br>
We're looking to buy a digital video camera for the digital archive/language
documentation program here at the University of Hawai'i and are wondering if
anyone has any ideas about what brands, formats, or models might be good.
We're hoping to get something on the high side of the consumer end or low
professional. <br>
<br>
A few specific questions:<br>
-recording onto MiniDV - is this pretty standard? Are there better
options?<br>
-High Definition - is this worth getting?<br>
-anything we should look for in terms of the lens?<br>
<br>
Mahalo,<br>
