Ask Camcorders

I am looking for a camcorder that will shoot slow motion videos that will have a smooth slow motion playback. Is this possible with a $500 limit?

which type of video camera is better: a dvd, a mini dv, or a hi8?
which do you recommend? i had a hi8 sony camcorder before, then a mini dv, but if i keep changing my cameras, i will no longer be able to view my already recorded tapes….or is there some type of adapter? there are more dvd (cd) camcorders on the market but i heard that they aren’t as proficient as the regular tape camcorders, also because the dvd (cd) is very expensive in the long run. i need opinions please and thanks for your time…

I used my lower-end Sony Digital 8 camcorder to record some video and I have an intermittent hissing on the sound track of the cassette. Recording over the same spot again produces the same noises.

Since this is a digital tape, is there a way I can “format” it and start from scratch? Or, is the cassette just worn out (after 2 uses) and should be thrown away?

I understand some “remember” the last 8 or so seconds and capture those seconds when you hit the record button. Looking specificly for an ultracompact model.

I have a samsung mini dvd camcorder mn#DC173(U). I uses dvd+rw. And when I record video you can play all of it on the camcorder but only some of the video will play on my dvd player. My manual says you do not have to finilize dvd+rw. The first disc I recorded worked fine but the last two have not. any ideas?
