Transferring video through USB interface is a bad idea. You will have low resolution crappy videos. You should get a cheap firewire (ilink) card and use this interface instead. DV cams record the video in DV format. To get the video form your camera, install Panasonic DV codec and DVIO and use the later to capture your video to AVI DV type 2 files.

Some applications can convert directly from DV to MPEG; take a look at this post for more details: https://www.videohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=233628

Look at Panasonic NV-GS11, JVC GR-D23 and the Sony HC14 you found are not bad....for under $400 that is

I got a Panasonic NV-GS22, i'm still getting used to it, i need to film more in different light conditions in order to see if it's doing a good job.
