What is the difference between a mini dv camcorder and a camcorder dvd?

Can anyone reccomend a good one?

I'd second the Sony. I did loads of research before I bought mine and found the other makes didn't feel as good to hold or operate, or as good quality. Would personally go for Mini-DV and buy yourself a DVD recorder for you PC. You can then do editing on the PC and burn DVDs yourself.
