   well unfortunately neither can still beat DV tape ( even though I do not like the tape format. ) DVD cams suffer from ok resoltion ( even in there highest quality mode ), same for hard drive based, simply because they compress inside the cams, and if you edit it further it will be recompressed even further, thus more loss. DVD tape is lossless, so edits ( in AVI formats ) are lossless, only when you do the final render do you get you genrational loss ( but if you have a good 3 ccd chip cam the loss is so minute it looks stunning. ). My freind has a Canon Gl-2, it kicks tha pants out of anything less ( and that inclues all other DVd, DVD and HD based cams ), the other thing is most of the junk cams out there feel the need to include a stupid still mode ( why bother ), the Canon dispels with this as this a pure 3 CCD cam, nothing else. All other cams are a compromise, period. Se the best you want is a 3 CCD cam, DVD tape or hold out until they offer an uncompressed HD cam ( in AVI foramt ).

   I would go with DVD, since even if you want to edit them, you could then simply put the DVD into your computer, as most computers these days have DVD drives, and a DVD-R for your computer is like $40. The megapixel wouldn’t vary by what type of storage is has, it would depend on which camera you buy.

   This is a question where you have to ask you’re self what you plan to use you’re camcorder for. If it’s to make DVD’s then get a DVD camcorder if you plan to edit you’re movies on you’re computer then use a hard disc camcorder.
   If you make small moves you can also E-mail them or put them up on a webpage with a hard disc camcorder. Just remember the bigger they are the longer they are going to take to download.
