Panasonic SDR-H200 30GB 3CCD Hard Disk Drive

Or you would buy this one

Canon FS11 Flash Memory Camcorder with 16GB Internal Flash Memory and 48x Optical Zoom ?

Any advice s appreciated

I will actually be using a Dual 2.7 GHz PowerPC G5. I do have iMovie '08 in that machime. In the Power Book G4 i got iMovie HD 6.0.3. I need to take a decision today and I'm not sure how to go. I do have the money (about $800.00). I would really a HDD or Flash Card, but need to think about the miniDV.

This are the choices so far (no miniDV in these)

Suggestions, please. BTW I'm not going to be doing any pro work. Is just for High school, but I need to get the best I one possible because I don't know when I will be able to upgrade (if I ever get more $$)

Thank yo so much for your time and advice. I'm a stubborn person. However, age had changed me. A little. The GS-500 is my wish list now and I do have a couple of days now to make a decision. I have read the advantages of the miniDV cameras and if I go for one of those the one you recommend looks great. I understand the better video quality but loosing your video files from the HDD camera is something that can happen to any electronic device, and most likely I'll transfer the videos to an external media for editing later. So I'm still in the look and now the miniDV is also an option. Maybe one a little less "professional".

I have taken a decision an I'm going with the Panasonic GS-500. I thought about and I want to use that camera with different computers, so compatibility is the most important issue here. Thanks for you help.
