Answers:
You might want to buy a DVD camcorder - a bit more expensive than mini-DV tape equipped cameras but maybe better for you. I have a mini-dv camera and can download from the camera straight into the DVD recorder if needed, or into my PC.
I made sure that I bought a camcorder with DV-IN and DV-OUT so that I could put my old analogue films into digital format so you might want to consider that too.
Answers:
This is a good website for reviews on particular models (it is from the US so may have slight differences in model numbers)
I also have seen hard drive camcorders which do not need tapes or discs.
