Digital. I got a digital JVC camcorder a while back for cheap. (it was a display item) It's just about the least advanced digital camcorder on the market, but the image quality SPANKS every analog I've ever seen.

explain what exactly is digital? is it what they call "dv" on the cameras? ive seen nice sony cameras "dv" modem. and then ive seen the hi8 or something like that model. when i buy a camera, i plan on buying a dv sony. costs around 1 grand and up. i dunno, when i buy things, i buy the best. i learned my lesson one too many times buying the most cheapest crap.
