With the technology advancing so fast today, I wouldn't even think about getting a camera that wasn't Mini-DV. With a digital video camera you're able to load it directly into your computer and start editing or just plug it in straight to your television and watch. Internal DVD R/RW recorders for the computer have also dropped drastically in price and you can find a good Sony DVD 8x burner for $150 so that you can record your favorite train shots to DVD. Hopefully DVD will be around for awhile. <br /> <br />I have researched Canon Mini-DV and have found to like their cameras the best, although I'm sure Sony is also good. I suppose having a Canon 35mm SLR has made me some what biased towards their optics. Many of them have digital photo capabilities too, allowing you to take 1024x768 pictures and recording them to an SD memory card.Canon's ZR series camcorders offer the most features and a larger optical zoom range for a price that is less than some of their higher-end models. Depending on where you shop, I've found the price range to be $350-$600. But definately go digital. <br /> <br />http://consumer.usa.canon.com/ir/controller?act=ProductCatIndexAct&fcategoryid=102
