Video Camera/Camcorder/Digital Video Recorder???

[gongshow]

Anyone know much about these??? Im goin on a trip, and Im gonna be recordin shit...But, I dont have a digital video camera now...and I kinda wanted to make the recordings into some type of edited, nice material in the end to make for a good video...I know its easy to do this with stuff on a digital vid camera and then transfer it to the computer, but is it possible to tape stuff on a VHS recorder, then when I get the digital, record the tape onto the digital camera and then edit that on my computer to make the video decent???

Any help would be great!

I have a Sony mini DV handycam. I know you can take VHS tapes and copy them to mini dv's but I haven't done it so I don't know what the quality is like but you can do it.

I still haven't been successful at transfering the mini tapes to DVD
