What is the best 3-Chip MiniDV cam on the market? Or, should would
Digital 8mm be the better way to go?

Doug Miller


What's your price range?

Prosumer 3-chippers range from $2200 for a VX2100 on up to $4000+ for
something like a Canon XL2.

All cameras in this range produce beautiful video -- the primary differences
are the availability of interchangeable lenses, audio input and control,
etc.

Digital 8 is an amateur format that, by this date, is limited to the
cheapest, poorest quality bottom-of-the-line camcorders.
