DV Cam vs. Mini DV

Hello everyone! I want to know if the difference between the quality of DV cam and Mini DV is worth the difference in price. Let me explain. I am making a DVD video and I want to include footage that was shot on Beta Cam and Hi 8. I am planning to get the footage transferred to a digital video format. The problem is, I am not sure whether I want to transfer the footage to mini DV or DV Cam. I have heard that DV cam has a higher quality picture. However, it is more expensive and I would have to rent a DV cam deck for capture while I have access to a Mini DV deck for free. On the other hand, I want a good quality image for the final product. Any advice would be appreciated. Rachel
