Most Recent MiniDV tape cameras?

[johnleeke]

My Sony PC330 camcorder has gray bars in the image when I try to capture the video file to my computer. I have tried cleaning the heads with the cleaning tape, and still get gray bars.

Is there another way to clean the heads or get rid of the gray bars?

An alternative is for me to get another MiniDV tape camera. What are the most recent Sony cameras that use MiniDV tape? I realize that these will probably be outdated models, but this could cost less than buying a MiniDV tape drive.

If I can't find a camera, what MiniDV tape drive would you recommend?

Thanks for your help.
