That is such bull ----. You want to make your own avatars! Or are you gonna open a MILF website to get funds for your car? Be honest.. who are you gonna exploit with your new camera?

For what its worth, but it at Costco. You can return it anytime for any reason w/o a receipt for as long as you own it. No need to buy an extra warranty. Might not be a big selection, but they have some nice units.
Steady shot is a must, and night vision is great for late night friends puking shots.

Ok, someone tell me this. Which is better, one that records on mini DV tapes or one that records on Hi8 tapes? What is the difference or does that even matter to me since I'm only using it to upload video to my computer?

Try here... http://www.camcorderinfo.com/
I would recommend the Canon ZR series. I have been doing some research on camcorders myself. The Canon ZR60 is the cheapest and will do what you want. Plan on spending around $400 for everything (maybe less). They aren't as expensive as they used to be. Check out the bottom left hand side of that site because they have forums and user boards with a lot of good info. I have checked out the whole Canon ZR forum and it has some good stuff on it. Good site info for cheap prices as well.

What do you think sounds better a tape or a CD? thats what your looking at basically when you compare the two...
Hi8 is basically like well a tape... just that its a bit better than an average camcorder.... good for shooting video... sound is ok... good technology if you dont have much to spend....
Mini DV... basically like a CD... its digital... meaning resolution is greatly improved, you can take still images... or record digital video... this is best if you are going to be uploading videos to your comp for editing...
drawbacks... well it is a bit more expensive than Hi8... but its worth the price for the quality....
hope that helps... anyways... help a brother out and go to
www.price.com
click on stuff...
go to electronics. then camcorders.. and that will sort things out for you so you can compare and get a good deal on a camcorder...

The camera used in these videos was a Canon ZR40. That is the same thing as the Canon ZR60 except an older model. I am assuming you want it to take videos of your car? Well here are some good examples.

OMG that price.com site has some awful feedback. Did you read any of the reviews? I wouldn't buy from any of those companies. Holy ---- I can't believe how horrible there feedback is. Damn. Anyways, that info helped. I think I'm going with the mini DV. Thanks for the help. 
I'm still downloading those vids.
