I need to watch a mini dv tape but i have no digital camera for it?

i have these panasonic dvc mini dv dvm80 tapes i need to watch. I dont have the camera for these tapes so does that mean i have to buy another camera? Or is there another way to watch and transfer these tapes to the pc (like a mini-vcr or something..lol)? Thanks in Advanced to all... you guys are really dependable I love you....haha no not really
Answer:

You can get MiniDV decks, but they're more expensive than the camcorders! I'd look out for a used camcorder. Don't forget you'll need firewire on your PC, too.
