Mini DV is cool...be sure you buy a camera with a firewire port (most of
em' have this). You realize, I'm sure, that you'll have to do something to
turn your mini-dv into .avi (i.e. crank it into a PC or Mac and export it
to .avi). You won't be posting your .avi (or whatever) directly to your
web site, of course. You'll need to turn it into QuickTime or Real or
MediaPlayer files,,,
