1. mini dv is the only way to go with consumer products Record and rerecord, no sweat. I have some tapes I keep, others are "rotators" that capture the events and then go into a video project via my PC.
2. This is a good camera. I use a Canon IXY (elura 40) in the States. I think the Elura has less motor noise, my only complaint. Canon CCD and lens combo gives you a nice shot, above others in the range for sure.
3. IEEE 1394 every few days, easy with my Vegas 4.0 to capture, as well as some low end software I used in the beginning. Beware, you need Harddrrive space ( I got 400Gb) as every hour takes 12 Gbs and I have a 4 month old, so I've taken about 100 Gb so far of her and events with her..... Good luck
