hard drive vs dvd
I am about to purchase my very first camcorder and i'm wondering which is better, a DVD or Hard Drive Format? I have no clue which one to choose. I am choosing between two...the Sony Handycam DVD Camcorder-Silver or the Sony-Handycam Camcorder. Any comments/suggestions?
What you want to do with your finale footage could influence which camcorder would be best for you. If you want to edit the footage the Hard Drive based camcorder would be easier. DvD based camcorders would be better if you just want to record your footage and just play it back. Record time is a factor too. The DvD camcorders have a shorter record time, then you have to replace the DvD with a blank DvD to continue shooting. The Hard Drive camcorders will shot for hours, depending on the size of the hard drive. Whenever you are ready you can transfer the footage to your computer or stand alone recorder, erase the hard drive and shot more footage.
