lol - Although I do like the most expensive one's, they're not always the best for the money.
Boneprone - Digital 8 records with 460k pixel resolution. (on the average)
Mini DV has 680k. The same way that digital 8 was so much better than reg 8mm, it's that way with miniDV and then some.
Anyway, Best Buy has the JVC-DVP3U for $1499.00 I think. Way too much..probably buy it online.
Here's some more shots of the JVC..
and another..
