DVD cam is the way to go, you would be stupid to buy a tape. Think about it.

for what im using it for i really cant justify going the extra way and getting the dvd one.... if i get a tape one i guess i can play it off the dvd player and thru the telly and upload it to my pc if i want to?

tape is miles better than the dvd, get a canon mv700 off ebay, fantastic camera, then byuy a £40 dvd burner, you wont be dissapointed!
