THEN see which camcorders fit your budget. Then you will see what the camcorders in that range have in the way of imaging chips. DV/HDV file format is "best". Least compression to the video stream and does not have the issues HDD cams have with vibration, altitude, process flow and data recovery. In the consumer camcorder environment, that means miniDV tape. It also means your computer needs to have a firewire port.
