Looking for some recommendations / advice on a vid camera

Looking in the region of upto £200 but not sure what is best to get. Obviously will not get or need a HD one but noticed for that price there are HDD and DVD cameras so not sure which is the best format to go for.

What else should I be looking for?
Firewire
Sound?
Which makes are the best?

Anything else?

Cheers

I had exactly the same dilemma a month ago – having read up on HDD and DVD I decided to stick with miniDV style (Sony DCR-HC96E from Ebuyer for about £290). More for picture quality and the fact the HDD & DVD have hardcore PC requirements for download and edit.
I had a good read round video forums see http://www.videoforums.co.uk and www.simplydv.co.uk for chat and to add to your confusion!
