3CCD is much better than a single censor
MiniDV is probably the better bet than HD or DVD as a recording format - then I just play the footage down the cable into the laptop - does the appropriate video editing software for any given camcorder come with it, or is that something that needs sourcing separately?
What is DV-in and DV-out?

The editing software normally has to be sourced separately....I'd say anything supplied with a camera will be fairly basic.
DV-in DV-out just means you have both input and output for your video. You need 'INput' if you want to attach 3rd party items to your camera to source the video rather than using the camcorder's own lens to do it (e.g. bullet cam or recording from the TV)
Regarding 3CCD.....I have it on mine and it is superb but you do have to pay for it... Costs may have come down from when I bought mine so you may be ok on your budget.
