Canon Digital Camcorders Dvd

Sony Handycam DCR-SR200 40GB Hard Drive Digital Camcorder?
..Does it get damaged by any simple shock or a bit stronger shocks because i need to buy a new camcorder for family use (preferably Sony) with good technology and can resist shocks (normal shocks that sometimes happen).. and when i went to Canon company to compare with the sony cam i saw, i asked the guy if they have canon camcorders with hard disk drive, he said no, simply because HDD can be damaged by any shock.. so honestly i was shocked because i had high hopes for the HDD type before hearing what the guy advised me, and i would really like to get one with HDD..
So, what would u advise me for a family digital video camcorder? a cam with Hard Disk Drive OR with a mini DVD OR with a mini DV?
Thanks
I recomend avoiding Hard Drive or any other solid state camcorders. Several reasons, with MiniDV, you have the tape for life, it is small and it won’t crash like a computer Hard Drive might. Second, Sony, JVC, Cannon all use
different video file formats to record video on the Hard Drive. Sony makes you edit the video with their own crappy software, and it doesn’t work on a Mac, while JVC and Cannon provide plug ins for your computer, dealing with the formats are a hassle. MiniDV camcorders also provide a better picture, if you have a good camcorder.
I recommend a Sony, they have the best color CCDs on the market. Their single CCD camera are as goo as some 3 CCD cameras. I use Sony cameras for my documentary films, and they are very good. Understand that Hard Drive cameras are still developing when you are shopping. MiniDV is still currently the best choice on the market.
I don’t know about the shocks, but MiniDV is unaffected by the shocks.
