When you say ones with higher resolution mate what do you mean?
There are 2 main categories: 1. DV cameras - they are generally with 4:3 chips installed and have resolution of PAL and NTSC formats, somewhere around 640x480) 2. HD cameras - they have 16:9 format of the chip and have HD resolution 720p or 1080p We all use DV cameras and they can be found for a relatively small amount of money. HD cameras are a bit expensive, and if you have the money they are way better, but only if you have a good computer and lots of storage space. HD video is demanding for video production. On the other hand DV, or miniDV cameras (miniDV cams use miniDV tapes) are cheap and useful for todays standards. here's the picture of low-entry miniDV cassete and miniDV cam:

No problem mate, I'm glad to help. If you wanna use it for regular videos for internet recording mate, I think any miniDV camera would be good, just make sure it has Firewire interface supported.
If you wanna buy something from JVC Everio series I suggest GZ-MG155 cause it has Firewire. Other models don't have it, they only have USB 2.0 supported, so I think they cannot stream the video directly into computer. This is very useful, cause you will often wanna record everything straight onto the computer and have the cam wired to the PC all the time for smooth working flow. Here's a JVM entry level cam that is IMO quite enough for good internet recording: http://www.amazon.com/JVC-GR-D350-MiniDV-C...C/ref=de_a_smtd This post has been edited by Ivan Milenkovic: Dec 23 2008, 12:28 PM -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

I would also recommend any DV cam in comparison to webcams etc...They record on miniDV tapes and usually have the firewire interface for transferring data..Just make sure you have the firewire interface on your PC , if you don't there is an extension PCI firewire card available for 10$

I agree with Dejan, miniDV tape camera is I think better solution then integrated Hard Disk. Not only because of the compression as Dejan said, but also you sometimes wanna record something on 2-3 different tapes.

With a mini DV cam that has firewire connection neat trick is that you can either record to tape and than transfer it to PC thorough firewire interface (its in real time) or you can do that directly..Connect the cam through firewire and open your capture software and record from cam directly!
