Answer 1

I have had great luck with the Canon cams

Answer 2

I'm happy wih my Panasonic PV GS300. You can find them in the $500-$600 range so they'e not too much.

You download the video through a Firewire connection. If your computer doesn't have one you can usually buy a card to add it fairly cheap. You'll also need a Firewire cable, usually a six pin to four pin one.

Answer 3

I'm not sure exactly what you imply by "Not too expensive," but here, let me attempt to help you out. I would go, probably Sony or JVC and you can get your hands on a Mini DV for like 3-500 right now. That's what I would go for; it's great quality and works on a budget. And yes you can. (Firewire port hole.)

Simply use your question as a search subject and try doing an internet search and/or just search Yahoo answers. You might be surprised to find the answer that you've been looking for -at least in the meantime while you are waiting for the right answer (or perhaps just a confirmation to the answer you've found) here...
