I've not ventured onto this part of the forum before but I'm starting to get the urge to go into video recording.

I am looking to spend around ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£300 for a camcorder and the obvious aim is to use my PC for editing and then burn to DVD.

So the questions are these:

What camcorder would you recommend? (I've heard very good things about the JVC GR-D23)
Is Windows Movie Maker an adequate piece of software to use for editing?
Is there anything else I might need i.e. should I get a second battery for the camcorder; is the media format important on the camcorder; is the best connection to a PC via a firewall?

If anyone has any advice I'd be dead pleased to hear from you

Thanks.
