I'm considering getting a JVC GRD250 MiniDv Digital Camcorder. (it's
only $200 brand new)

I have a Zenith DVD Recorder (DVR 413) that has a firewire input which
should work well for capturing the MiniDV's video.

After a quick search to see what I could find out about the JVC, I
discovered that it has a '680K pixel CCD w/340K effective pixels for
video'.

My question is; does that represent the normal video quality from a
low-end MiniDV?

Is MiniDV video like Hi-8 camcorders in that the video to tape
resolution is less than what the camcorder will actually take?

If anyone is familiar with this model, please let me know what you think
of it.

Thanks for any help.
