[LAU] [OT] DV/HDV camera recommendation ?

[Dave Phillips]

Greetings,

My thanks to everyone who responded with suggestions. Ah, another 
complicated purchase. ;)

I decided to buy a Samsung SC-D382, a miniDV camcorder that has positive 
reviews from Linux users. Cost was $99US, with free shipping, and I can 
get cassettes and a FireWire cable locally. I'm looking forward to 
getting into editing my own videos, but don't worry, I won't plague you 
all with home movies of the grandkids harassing my dog.

Best,
