[LM_NET] Target: digital camcorder

[sandra carswell <sandracarswell@HOTMAIL.COM>]

I posted a target previously but did not get much response. Perhaps I didn't 
ask the right questions.
I'll try again and post a hit as I know there are others interested as well.

I am in the market for a digital camcorder for my campus. I envision 
teachers using it and students using it. I want one that is easy to use but 
not too expensive. I want an external microphone port and probably need one 
with a light but I'm not sure. I do have firewire on a couple of computers 
but probably need to have one that downloads to a computer via usb as well.
Do I want Digital8 or MiniDV? I really don't know the difference. Are there 
advantages or disadvantages to either?
Any help or suggestions are appreciated.
