I'm ignoring your admonition--why not use the points for amazon gift cards (or Best Buy or Circuit City) and get whatever one you want?
Sticking with one of the proposed, for example, the Pana miniDV seems to be the PV-GS300 (link:
http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-PV-G...e=UTF8&s=photo ), $507.14 from Amazon, which would only cost 63,000 points and leave you with enough money to buy a couple of tapes, too.
The Pana DVD is probably the VDR-D200 ($447.10/54000 points on Amazon), which seems to have been superceded by the VDR-D300, which is a 3CCD like the other Pana (ie it has three image sensors each the same size as the VDR-D200).
Hopefully helpful even tho I ignored part of your request. We have a Sony miniDV which we have been happy with in its limited use. The Sony models were a little harder to figure out, so I gave up. We've been really happy with our Lumix, so we'd probably go Pana if we were in the market now.
