First time Camcorder buyer. Is DV-in really that important. I can only
really see myself downloading to PC and storing files on PC or output to
DVD. Read something that makes editing easier with DV-in. Not sure I
understand why.

Also is widescreen and Megapixel worth the extra?? Maybe I would be best
with HC22. No need for analogue in or digital photo on HC32

Any views on these models. As I said I'm a total newbie. Would like
something small enough to snowboard with. Don't know why only looking at
Sony either,. just makes it easier.

Thanks in advance for any advice

Jon
