Hey folks,

I am kinda playing around with the idea of getting a DV camera this year, but I don't know anything about them. I have been poking around with google, but I don't think I am using the right search words.

Can anyone recommend a couple of sites to get started? I am specifically looking for something starting out with some terminology and then the kind of things to look for in a DV camera. The only thing I kinda know at this point is that a 3 CCD will give you better color then a single. I don't know why, how it works, what it does, anything about quality, and the such. I think that gives you an idea of were I am at.

thanks.

And don't forget to consult this list:

if you plan on using iMovie.

Other cameras will work sometimes, but not always as well as you'd like.
