Do you want to edit your videos after you have shot them or do you just want to watch them back again on tv? The reason I ask is that the two camcorders you list are very good at playing videos back but are problematic when it comes to editing. Both DVD and HDD camcorders are aimed primarily at users who do not want to do editing, they are designed more for ease of use, where you shoot your video, take the camcorder home, plug it into your tv or in the case of the DVD camcorder, take the disc out and place it in your dvd player.
