Same "problems" with the dvd, "fun and easy" filming, poor results and poor or no chances for future transfers/edits." They too record straight to mpg2, compressing the video. What comes to new formats with .246 and AVCHD, editing softwares aren't keeping up with technology, so you may run into problems when you wanna edit your stuff.
MiniDV is the best because the bitrate is way above other formats 25mb/s.
Also, If you'd had to choose older Digital8 recorder or new HDD recorder, i'd take the Digital8. Too bad they aren't making them anymore.

Re: Looking For A New Cam
i really like my sony hc21... not sure what the new model number is, but these things are cheap and do a very nice job.
with that being said if you have money i would suggest going with a hidef camera. my friend has a sony hc3 and it produces just about the most amazing videos i have ever seen. we even did a show sitting next to eachother so we could compare the results..... i was blown away... you can get the hc3s used on ebay for a really nice price.
i would not go with anything that is recording to dvd or hard drive.
