Anon-x, I also have an NVDS11B, and find the camera excellent. It has i-link or firewire connection that allows uploading of video to a pc. However in the UK they are not DV in enabled , apparently it would add an extra 200GBP to the prive as it would then come under a different taxation band or something. Anyway you can get around this by buying a DV in 'widget' around 80GBP, this enables you to download your video from your pc after editing adding titles etc etc. I use a 30GB hard drive for this and also use a Pinnacle Studio DV package around 100GBP mail order. Results are excellent, you can then make Video CD's if you wish as well as recording back to the DV camera. I think it's great, so do the family.
Have fun it's worth it.
