Budget Camcorder help

[smartie]

Never had a camcorder before but going on hols soon and thought it might be a good idea now they are so cheap, so, which to go for?

Do I go HDD, DVD, miniDV or SD? Looking at a Canon DC301 on Jessops for £150 which seems pretty good.

Any advice welcome!

cheers guys,

Borrowed my brother's old one but it's firewire only and I'm trying to use it with a macbook ! Seems as cheap to buy a new decent one than to muck about trying to get this to work!

yes, new one. Just 2x usb and a display port thingy...
