editing on a 3 inch screen, possibly using an onscreen display can never
be described as optimal. The mini-DV camera at work only has a completed
dvd as its output, before completion the disc is unreadable. The one here
may be different I'd stick to teh tape and edit on a pc

It's not a miniDV camera then. It's MiniDVD.

Despite your misinformed post, I'd also suggest that your camera at work
also has a TV output so you can edit on a 50" screen - if you have one of
those at work, too.
