Differences Between Camcorders
What are the differences between miniDV and Hard Drive camcorders and what are some benefits of each?
Which of the two would be easiest to use and load videos onto a computer to work on with Windows MovieMaker? How does the video quality of each compare to other camcorders?
miniDV is a tape form factor for storing digital video. Hard drive camcorders simply use a small hard disk drive for storing digital video. Both camcorders will likely store the video in the same format (called DV).
Neither has a particular advantage with respect to transferring video to you PC. Tape has the advantage of being replaceable with another cassette while you’re “in the field” shooting video. I don’t know what you’re supposed to do with a hard drive camcorder once the drive gets full.
