I have decided to buy a sony handycam.Which one should I buy?sony DCR-HC42E or DCR-DVD703E ?DCR-HC42E costs around Rs32000/-.DCR-DVD703E costs around Rs42000/-.Which one is more preferable miniDV or DVD camcorder.Also the price difference is to be considered.Thanks in advance.

i think u should go for the miniDV one. U can always buy a dvd writer and burn the video on ur pc after editing.

I'd suggest a miniDV too. Don't forget to by a cheap firewire PCI card.

i have HC42E.. excellent.. i like it

My cousin has a DVD cam and he wants to get the mini DVD which is absolutely very nice. Even though it costs much he wants it.

I suggest you should also get the Mini DVD

Go for miniDV
