Can you give pros and cons of your camcorder? If any of you have owned both the digital and DVD recorders, can you say which you like better and why? I'm shopping around for one and have no idea what the hell I need to look out for.

I'm planning on buying a Sony MicroMV. It gets alot of flack for being a proprietary format, but it's about as big as a deck of cards, and I can get it into concerts, so I have no problem with it. And as soon as I film things, I'll rip them onto the PC, fuck with the file, and burn it onto DVD, so I'm not too worried about the tape format issue.

PS. Both Micro DV and DVD have NO DIFFERENCE, except ease of finding what you want in your recording. I have DVD from work and DV i payed out of m own pocket.
