About how long can you record on a 30Gig Hard drive camcorder

Camcorders have different quality modes, and depending on if the camcorder is SD (Standard Definition) or HD (High Definition). On a 30-gigabyte camcorder you should get approximately:
7 hours of HQ (High Quality) (SD) footage
15 hours at SD (Standard Quality)
37 hours at EQ (Economy Quality).
If your Camcorder shots in High Definition as well, it probably uses the AVCHD format. These files take up more space than the HQ setting being as they are High Definition files.

what is wi-fi and which camcorder to use

which camcorder is wi=fi compatable
WiFi is a way of connecting or interfacing computer devices together without a direct hard connection (cable). Some camcorders have experimented with WiFi but have not caught on in popularity. Sony had a model that was sold in the UK. Samsung had a model that used two separate lenses to send video to one camcorder. WiFI is being used on some SD cards to send photos directly to computers to expand storage from the camera.

I was wondering which video camera would be best for editing, clear shots, and one that is the easiest to play/present the film.

MiniDV is the easiest to edit with currently, assuming your computer has a Firewire(IEEE 1394) connection and so does the camcorder. Some will capture from the USB port. Other media camcorders such as Flash, Hard Drive and DvD types may need conversion software or separate devices like a DV Bridge to capture to the computer to edit with. NOTE: Vista does have a simple editing software for most other OS you will need an editing program. All are equally easy to view from using the A/V (Audio Video) cables.

Camcorder for videotaping in a classroom setting

I need an affordable recording device that I can tape students giving presentations and then give them their presentations, i.e. on a DVD or other format. There would be no more than approximately 15- 20 minutes worth of material for each one.
Well there are two media options I would suggest for you:
MiniDV or Flash Memory based camcorders.
There are several MiniDV Models under $300 and many under $400 in the Flash media. The benefits of the MiniDV is that if you want to edit the footage it is an easer format to edit from and the record lengths are long (up to 90mins in LP mode). The flash media is smaller and takes up less storage space. The record lengths depend on the size of the Flash Memory. Also the Flash Memory can be recorded on and re-formated for reuse many times. The MiniDV can be erased several times but will wear out after repeated use. Both formats can be connected directly to a stand alone DvD burner by the A/V (Audio Video) cables. This would be the fastest and easiest way to transfer to DvD.

Why do some Canon cameras not offer "Night time" mode?

In the custom settings on my current Canon power shot there is a "Night Shot" mode setting. However, on the newer cameras there is only: "Auto", "Manual", "Color Adjust" but no "Nightshot". Why has this setting been eliminated?
From what I have found the Powershot cameras from Canon have up to 19 shooting modes, including portrait, foliage, snow, beach, sunset, fireworks, aquarium, underwater, indoor, kids & pets, night snapshot, color accent, color swap, digital macro and stitch assist. Amount of modes may vary from model to model. There is a “Night Snapshot” mode on all models I researched.

how do I transfer video from camcorder onto discs

There are many different ways to do this. A stand alone DvD Recorder is one option. Capturing the footage on a computer and burning a DvD is another. Footage can either be transferred by Firewire (IEEE 1394 cable) or by USB. It can also be captured by a Video Bridge device such as the Dazzel from Pinnacle. Using a stand alone DvD burner is probably the easiest and fastest way to transfer to disk. There are many different options for stand alone burners. Stop by your nearest BestBuy and take a look.

can i use a camcorder as a digital camera as well?

Yes. Most camcorders have a “Photo” button on top of the camcorder, usually near the zoom control, that will take a photo and store it either to the video media as a still image or to the memory media as a photo image (depending on which is selected). When recorded as a still image it will be about 10 seconds long and audio will active to be recorded as a narration track. The photo image, when set to memory, will be limited to the screen resolution that the video is set to. Keep in mind that the megapixel count will not be of the same size as a digital still camera. My rule is: Video camera = Big Video, Little picture. Digital Camera = Big Picture, Little Video

what does 1200 iso mean?

what does 1200 iso mean?
ISO means International Organization for Standardization. It is a way of making sure that all exposure speeds of film, and digital sensitivity are the same. A low ISO number means more light is needed to expose the film (sensor) to get an image. The low number is also the sharper picture. More light can be
given by either slower shutter speed or larger aperture opening. The slower shutter can cause blur in the photo at low light.
A higher number is better for low light and sports shooting, however it does give more grain (noise) to the image. Most digital cameras can go as low as 100 and as high as 1600. Some advanced digital and D-SLR cameras can go to 3200. 1200 ISO is a fairly high speed and would work well in low light, such as evening outside shots.

Two questions...Are there any hard drive camcorders that record in HD and please explain what would make a hard drive crash?

I noticed a prior answer mentioned that a hard drive camcorder can crash. I was thinking of buying a hard drive camcorder but this sounds very ominous. Also are there hard drive cams that record in HD and, if so, which are they?
All camcorders are susceptible to recording errors of one kind or another. Tape heads can clog, DvD's can get scratches or finger prints, Hard Drives and Memory media can crash or develop errors. In most cases the footage can be recovered and the camcorder serviced.
As to what Hard Drive based camcorders are in HD...Canon, JVC, Panasonic and Sony all models of various Hard Drive sizes that are in HD. Stop by your nearest BestBuy and take a look, they should have several models on display to choose from.
