best method for miniDV to PC-Sony Walkman?

[clashradio]

For years I've used my camera(s) as the vcr for miniDV copying to the PC. But even with the tapes stored properly I still get the occasional drop-out.

I have multiple cameras of the same model so I can't guarantee that the cam I recorded with is the same as the playback. I've read it helps to playback the tape with the same camera that was used to record.

So far I've ran across Sony Walkman's, or a set top Sony DSR-11 VTR. I've also seen miniDV/VCR combos but I'm guessing they are junk.

Other than your camera for playback, what are you guys using to copy your footage to your PC?
