I just spent the past year trying to make sense of this too- and finally
bought my first camcorder, a Canon HV-20. You will probably get some answers
here but you'll need to dig deeper for a deeper understanding. I suggest
checking out the following web sites:
http://dvinfo.net/conf/
http://www.camcorderinfo.com/bbs/index.php
http://www.hv20.com/
http://www.papajohn.org/MM2-Main.html

Also, there is a "Digital Video for Dummies" that you can get quickly from
Amazon.com.
