Article: [senit] digital video camera

If you can afford it, buy an Apple Mac and download all your video onto 
that, editing with iMovie which is so simple. (Mac minis are quite 
reasonably priced and could share a monitor with a PC).Also it keeps the 
movies in one place and everything else in another. Once you've made your 
movie, iDVD makes it easy to burn onto disk.
