Since a computer monitor can show every one of the pixels

in the digital video camera's image, and the DV image will

have higher pixel resolution than most analogue capture

devices provide, the answer is: the highest resolution digital

video camera you can get, used with a digital capture card

(these are now often very cheap) - though if you deinterlace

the video image for computer-viewing, this can affect the

result and the answer...
