  • Hi there Rookie. Hop on across to the AVFORUMS site at the camcorder board.

    Do a quick scan through the forum and you will find everything you will ever need (including recommendations). A DVD camcorder records directly to a DVD. A DV camcorder will record to a small tape. With the latter, you will usually use a firewire connection to your PC and edit the footage and then do what you want (burn to DVD etc).

    Good luck!
