Hi
I have a 8year old miniDV camcorder but want to change it to something better.
Can anyone suggest a decent camcorder which I can take on a 3 week family holiday soon to Florida?
If its got full HD, that would be great.
I guess the choice for storage is either onto an in-built HDD or memory card, but I don't don't know what the pros and cons are for each of them.
What's the max capacity for a memory card and the best place to purchase?
Is there some kind of category for these cards?
I've seen a Panasonic HDC-HS20EB in Costco for ~£423.
Don't know much about about it and not sure it's worth it as there are other cheaper camcorders (pocket type).
The camcorder would need to have a good long battery life.
This camcorder has a 80Gb HDD but unsure roughly how many hours of full HD footage can be recorded?
As I may not have access to a laptop whilst on holiday how would I store the movies should I go beyond the HDD capacity?
If I manage to borrow a laptop from a cousin, would that help?
I have also seen the JVC GZ-HD300 with 60Gb HDD for £352 at Costco.
Others being considered are flash comcorders:
Panasonic HDC-SD10
Panasonic TM10
Thanks.
