| 203293 | 2003-12-26 21:06:00 | Does anyone know if this camera is mini-dv format? It doesn't mention it on the Canon website (unless I've missed it). I've heard that mini dv is the way to go, 8mm tapes are a thing of the past. If it is - kewl, im buying it! :) Also, does anyone have any comments on this model? I did consider buying a Sony, but this model seems to have more features like 20x optical zoom, compared to the Sony 10x optical zoom which is more expensive. Thanks, caffy |

| 203294 | 2003-12-27 01:23:00 | "canon mv630i" to google found some reviews. The very first link answers your questions. B-) It is mini DV. But as far as I can see, it doesn't record movies. There's a lot to be said for having an 8mm tape drive in the box, to record movies. ;-) The removable memory just saves stills. For video, you use the IEEE1394 cable to the computer. |

| 203295 | 2003-12-27 01:45:00 | it must record movies, because why would it be called a digital VIDEO camera . . . ? I am getting firewire for whichever camera i buy, because USB is too slow or something . Also gonna get a DVD writer sometime . . . :) |

| 203296 | 2003-12-27 02:08:00 | All right, I thought so too. But the specifications say it can be a webcam, and things like: "Memory Card: MMC : YES, SD :YES, Movies REC : NO". They don't say how long you can record for. :D You got me curious. A link on the seventh page of google output gives the recording time as 60 min using MPEG2 compression. ;-) Perhaps they take it for granted that we will take it for granted. |
