Sony Z1 mini-dv tapes to Final Cut Pro on my apple mac

[FayeD1977]

I want to video document my weight loss. I bought a Sony Z1 on eBay. I don’t want to play-back my mini-dv tapes using my Z1 camcorder to record and capture video on my Mac in Final Cut Pro, because of the wear-and-tear on my camcorder. So can I buy a used Sony DV camcorder on eBay to do this (they go for about £50), or would I lose the video quality if it’s only dv and therefore I have to buy an hdv for playback (as I’m going to shoot in hdv on Z1). Sorry if this is a dumb question; I’m a regular girl with zero experience of video recording. I hope my question makes sense. Thanks, Faye
