For a while, digital camcorders were not used that much because they had to use removable media. It implies that you need to provide the media and always take it no matter where you go. Further, the camcorder has to be equipped with enough space in order to store the media.
Still, the things are much different nowadays, since we have entered the era of the tapeless camcorder. So, what does "tapeless" entail? In the main, it is related to hard disk camcorders, which function in the same way as your iPod or Tivo with a hard disk drive inside for storing the data.
Since they contain modern video compression combined with the ever-increasing capacity and ever-declining physical size, they have finally become convenient for this type of portable usage. When the iPod emerged on the market, it reduced a lot the price of portable hard disks and the next thing to benefit is digital camcorders.
A hard disk camcorder is really easy to apply. You just need to charge it up, point it at the image you would like to capture, and switch it on. It'll film for many hours until it gets full - nearly around 50 hours, but you can get more if you like. After filming plug it into a computer (or use a Bluetooth wireless connection), save the movie to the hard drive, and then you can repeat the whole process again.
In comparison with digital cams, hard disk camcorders are, of course, much smaller, and can be designed in almost any way their designers want, which generally make them nicer to hold and use. If you can't still make up your mind, I can recommend the JVC Everio line as the original and up to now the best one, but still unavailable at this market. - 32363
