You can get the mini-discs on Ebay though, I'm sure.

I've only looked at the Sony. I remember how pissed I was when I got the Mavica that went straight to CDR. Nothing like running all over town when you fuck up at 2:00a.m. and run out of 3" disks.
I ended up getting the 33 last night. Even if I had an unlimited number of the DVDs on hand, I realized I would still plug the camera into my computer to edit, so having the DVDs instead of regular MiniDV offered no more advantage. I knew in advance I would be starting and stopping a lot during my shooting, so my video would require lots of post editing.
Battery concern was another issue, so if you want to avoid getting 2 or 3 extra $100.00 batteries, stick with MiniDV or similar formats.
