Which camera should I get?

My budget is $400 roughly.

I've got lots of old Digital8 tapes that I have yet to capture, but I really want a new miniDV. They're the way of the future and shit.

That's where I'm getting it, because my mom said she'd bring me there and help me pay for the rest of the camera instead of taking me on vacation.

Tell me which camera you'd pick, I'm thinking more towards a sony, but you guys all have tried different cameras and would know what's best.

THANKS!

I had a mini-dv samsung like a year ago, it was a good camera and it was cheap as fuck. I think it was an scd-23. Sadly, my 1 year old nephue broke it. Yes, I was an uncle at age 14.

I never have had a sony but I have wanted one

panasonic has always worked for me, it has messed up a bit but I have had some pretty nasty falls onto concrete with it so I think it is holding up relativly well

if you can go for sony, but panasonic is quality as well

Yeah, I'm always out at night, so I think I'm gonna go with a sony. My old camera had awesome nightshot so I could film in really dark situations.

You have to to change any of the options. There's no buttons on the inside of the lcd screen, it's all on the touch screen. I guess I'll just take really good care of it though.
