I've just got a JVC GR-D73. Has DV in/out, analogue input, a/v in/out, and s-video in/out.

Yeha

The Sony TRV-460 can take your 8mm tapes and pass them on to the PC. http://www.sony.co.uk/ShowProduct.do?site=odw_en_GB&category=CAM+Digital+8&product=DCR-TRV460E Although it's Digital8 and slightly bigger than the newer minDV recorders, the data format is the same.

please look at my posting on the "I wanna board". You will find a good deal on the JVC....£199.99.

My personal preference is to go for Panasonic or Sony, I have not been impressed with Sharp or Canon (unless u pay a lot).
