      Firstly, I would never have thought you were married.

      Secondly, I would recommend the Sony DCR-HC 62. Nice interface, can take a card for photos, easy to use. I fear that they may be no longer made, as I think that they are moving towards cards rather than tape.
      That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

      Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

          Is it just for family memories or is it for something more serious? In this day and age the mid-market digital compacts have as good video sensors as standalone camcorders just a few years ago; my DMC-TZ7 shoots in HD, for example. Of course if you need the swivelly screen and all that jazz, it wouldn't be suitable.

                  God no, most write to digital formats these days: DVD, hard disk, etc.

                      Sorry, it wasn't a comment on your personality - you just didn't strike me as being married.
