Perhaps look for a straight forward Mini-DV camcorder with a firewire
(ieee 1394) port and a similar port on your PC (you can buy one for very
little).

I have such a setup, bought many years ago, and it's great. I simply
plug it into my PC, fire up kino and import/edit etc as I wish to.

It's very simple and it works well.
