Does anyone have a recomendation for a decent digital video camera?

Looking for one that we can transfer video off of through USB.

Thanks in advance!

What is your price range?

And get a Firewire card for $30 or a Audigy 2 ZS with Firewire. It gets rid of a lot of headaches and most software can control the camera through Firewire when recording or marking for record.

Goto google and do a search for Steves Digicams. Great site for digital, video and printer reviews..

But, OP did say Digital Video, aka DV. I like Steve's and use it, but the more relevant site is Camcorderinfo

Sometimes information overload can be overkill. I recommend to pick a couple or three brands and stick to them.
The top 4: Sony, JVC, Panasonic, Canon.

I use a Canon GL2 camcorder for various reasons. Its rated as a proconsumer camcorder, intermediate rating. Triple CCDs.
You can peruse the various links to get the info and guides you need.

Good hunting.....

Some camcorders have disk drives that can download video by USB.
