another camera question
 

any advice on what is the best medium to use for recording? what I want want to do is hook up what ever camera i'm using to my computer for editing. and I want to be able to keep a hard copy of the original shots. should I use one that holds info on a memory stick, dvd-r, vhs, or mini vhs? any ideas?

I would suggest dvd, and maybe some actual tape formats just to have on hand. but for strictly archiving I'd go dvd. Magnetic media can have problems over time.

thanks. anyone else have any ideas?

I don't know that you can re-use a DVD-R, and reusing would probably come in handy. On the other hand, you can't accidentally record over a DVD-R. On yet another hand, you could always bust the tab off the tape if you want to keep it safe from recording.

So, I'd go with a digital mini-tape type thing.
