Mini DV or Micro MV if you can afford it....or even one of the new DVDR models :)
Digital 8 is only ok if you need to transfer old 8mm stuff.

Note:- not all Digital 8 camcorders will allow you to transfer old 8mm stuff.....

Hey, Ste.
Just got the e-mail...sent you a reply! To be honest, I`m tempted by the Sony you recommended; I don`t want to be spending a fortune. Some have suggested Mini Dv though! :/

iLink, Firewire, IEEE1394 and DV are all the same thing. Just usually different connecting plugs :)
Digital 8 in some cases can playback old 8mm recordings, but as said above, not all.
I now always stick with Mini DV. Cheap, easy and decent quality.
