Information on Digital Cameras

chenanceouI'm trying to make up my mind, but it's hard with all those numbers flashing in front of me (Sony alone seems to have 100 different kinds). I need to buy a camera (the filming kind, not the photographic kind) and I'm lost in the sea of technology. Could any of you take some pity on one so technologically challenged and help out?
I need a digital camera that will film to disk (DVD). It's for "Look Ma, I went down the Nile!" use, but the image should be good enough to show on television.
Help?

Date: 2005-07-15 03:39 am (UTC)As an addendum to the above info.. I was just reading an article in PC-World reviewing some camcorders.. and in that one, the newest offering from SONY , the DCR-DVD403 ( http://find.pcworld.com/48163 ) actually scored very well, garnering 4.5 stars (out of 5) . The image quality appears to have been vastly improved over the previous models. Of course, it is more expensive at $US 850 (as of 5/17/05) . The new Hitachi model DZGX20A ( http://find.pcworld.com/48153 ) only managed to get 3 stars, having a price tag of US$ 750.
I think, if you get a recent model of any of the brands.. SONY, HITACHI or PANASONIC, you should be OK :)
