For Mini-DV reviews and articles on gear, see:
www.David-Ruether-Photography.com/articles.html (look for
video section), and: www.bealecorner.com.
These days, short high-end commercial video (and
even there, sometimes...;-), it's a Mini-DV world
due to the good quality of the gear, lack of
generation/copy losses, and availability of good,
inexpensive editing computers... www.bhphotovideo.com
has a wide range of gear available, at good "real"
prices. I'm not a fan of magazine reviews - they
tend to be "puff" pieces more in line with
advertising, or, worse, also inaccurate...
