Video Camera

We have been discussing our next purchase for a while now...a new video camera. I have been using my parents' old video camera that records to 35 mm tapes. The battery has been acting up lately and this particular camera doesn't have an outlet to plug into the computer for transferring files. Also, since I have a "dinosaur" for a computer, my brother has been helping me by transferring the files from his camera to the computer and allowing me to use his software to do the finalized DVDs for the kids. Well, Chad recently sold his video camera and purchased a new hard drive camera. Sooooo, this kind of put a glitch in our editing and just gave us that extra push to get a new camera. Because I am somewhat tired of so many steps - going from camera to computer to DVD, I looked into a video camera similar to my parents' camera now. Decided on a DVD video camera...did some research and looked at reviews...decided on this one. Got it yesterday and learning the ins and outs, but I think we will be happy with it. From now on, our videos can go from video camera to tv. I like that idea!
