Default camcorder question

i hope this is the rite place for this
i'm looking for my first digital camcorder. in the 300 to 400 price range..
i'm looking for one that i can download it to my PC. so i can burn it to a CD.
i have notice some of them still come with a tape, like the minidv.
an are the ones that uses the Mini-DVD any good?
i have a VHS-C camcorder. that's a few years old. do they make a cable to transfer it to the PC. i don't want to use a program like Digital Video Creator. I've tried it an couldn't get it to work rite. thank you for any help

The only way to connect a VHS to a PC would be to buy a Capture card.

For the camera - get a MiniDV (Sony, Canon, JVC)
