Hi,

It's time to exchange my old JVC Hi8 camcorder. What media gives the best
quality of videopicture? MiniDV, HD or DVD? My old camcorder is very
sensitive to change in temperature (moist climate) - when traveling in very
warm countries the camcorder refuse to work for quite a long time to
acclimatize. How sensitive is MiniDV, HD and DVD to this? Any experiences?

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

consumer camcorder.  However, quality of miniDV machines runs the gamut
from cheap and crappy to professional quality.

In theory, a non-tape-based camcorder will be less sensitive to moisture
than a tape-based one.  However, everything depends on the build quality
of the camcorder.  I use a Sony VX2000 prosumer-grade miniDV camera, and
have taken all over the world under all kinds of climate conditions,
including freezing cold, hot and humid and pouring rain.  I've never had
the slightest problem with it.
