Hard Drive Camcorders Advantages
What are the advantages of a hard drive camcorder?
What are the advantages of a hard drive camcorder, or a camcorder which uses memory card?
If I buy these camcorders, does it mean I can copy the video files from the camcorder to my computer very quickly?
HDD camcorders you are stuck with the size HDD once its full you have to upload it to a computer or delete it. Media card fill it up just pop another one in.
Coping the data from camera to computer sure its quick just as fast as copying any file on your computer. But unless you have a high end computer you are going to have to convert the video to a less compressed format and as the format is highly compressed even in the best quality that gives reduced quality, uncompressing it reduces the quality again, you cannot put data lost in compression back in. so now you have a reduced quality video then you are going to edit it and then compress it again to get it onto DVD OH! and the video has been down converted from HD (if you have a HD camcorder) to get HD on to a DVD you need Blueray then you need a player. so this camcorder that cost you 800-1000 has now cost a lot more.
Both HDD and media card do not record fast action video very well out of the two I would go for Media card.
Good luck
