MiniDV tape transfered on diff. player/recorder	Can't Post

Has any one experienced trying to use a tape recorded on DV camera and transferred it to the computer on another type of camera. I have a VX2100 and do not want to put any unnecessary hours on the camera and was wondering if I purchased a cheaper Sony dv camera with firewire if it would transfer with out any problem, and would there be a lose of quality in the transfer. I know that I could buy a dedicated miniDV player except for the $$$.

Thanks

Brett

You will not lose any quality using a cheaper camera for capture. You're just transferring 1's and 0's off the tape.
