Can any pocket video cameras on the market record as good a quality video as a mini dv camcorder?
My mini dv camera is dead, I want to replace it, but I don’t know if I should by another full size camcorder or one of these pocket ones. Video quality is more important to me than quick and easy.
I would be buying a low end mini dv camcorder, vs an HD flip video cam

I guess it depends on the camcorder – but most likely not. Since you did not tell us which miniDV tape based camcorder, this is only a guess – and we don’t know if you are comparing a high definition pocket cam. But it is likely the pocket cams all have smaller lenses and imaging chips – and we already know they compress the digital video data more than DV format does…
Less compression + larger lens + larger imaging chip = better video quality.
