Really? A camcorder? That's weird. I thought you had a QC9?
I used a camcorder for a long time, until I broke the firewire port. Now I use a C910.
I use Dragon Stop Motion. All my stop mo work thus far has been done with a QCP9K although now I have a Canon 550D so I'll be using that where I can.
I use virtualdub but it can be unpredictable a times
for frame capturing? I'm pretty sure it is only meant for simple editing and such
DSM is overrated, Istopmotion is the bomb

For frame capture?
MonkeyJam. Simple, free, effective.

He meant don't start a war between the MJ and HF nations. It would tear the site apart from the inside-out O_o
I use monkeyjam but it just screwed up. When I try to open one of the films that I'm working on in monkeyjam it says "is not a valid interger value. How do I fix this?

What kind of lens are you/will you be using with it?
Once I get some monies I'll be investing in 28mm and 55mm manual nikon lenses with a nikon to canon adapter, as well as some manual focus filters, according to mobiledeli's advice.
DSM is overrated
How so?

Truth is, you probably are saying this because of the price, or have never tried it out to its full capabilities. I for one love it using it with my DSLR is like a cup of tea.
I would suggest Action HD by SMP as they have dramatically changed the prices. And if you have more money, definitely go for Dragon.
