Hey all,

my in-laws offered to get us a digital video camera as a baby/holiday gift and I know nothing about them and was hoping you guys might have some advice or at least a digital video camera that you love. If anyone has some advice on what type to get and why you love the one you own I'd love to hear about it!

I am not sure if I should get Mini-DV or MicroMV or Mini-DVDr. Any good editing software I should know about that you guys find easy to use??? I know a lot about digital still cameras but it isn't helping me in this quest as my father-in-law is itching to go buy the camera and I have no clue what I want or need in a camcorder!!!

HELP!!!!
