    I have a Canon 500D. It has a mini hdmi out port for connecting it to an hdtv. Our family tv is a 23" HP LCD. It is a few years old and it does not have an HDMI port. It does have: Component, Composite, Svid, DVI, and VGA.
    Since there are no direct Mini HDMI to DVI/VGA/Component adapters, I assume I'll have to buy a mini hdmi to hdmi adapter, and then buy an hdmi to dvi/vga/or component adapter or cable.

    Can anyone recommend me where I should buy these and what type of adapter would be the best(Component, VGA, or DVI)?

    Thanks.

    (mini)HDMI and DVI are digital , while vga/component/composite/svideo are analog

    go for dvi

    Thanks for the informative post. I'll follow your suggestion and get the miniHDMI to HDMI adapter and cable :)

    Our TV is an HP L2335.

    According to the above document, the HP L2335's DVI port is DVI-D, DVI-A, and DVI-I.
