and flash drive camcorders are slowly getting better, but as of now theyre still not worth it. mini dv's def the way to go, as everyone else said

i actually thought about getting a jvc similiar to that a few years ago. it was a grand and it was even smaller than that. i said fuck it because i knew i would hate it break it. theres one thing ive found out about small devices. they fucknig break. ive gone through small cameras, phones, mp3 players, and watches because they were so small that they were really fragile.



here are the pros and cons of tape vs. data. i might have forgotten some.


tapes
- tapes wear out if played back numerously
+ great for archiving in terms of space
- tape jams due to failure of mechanicals
+ cheap media
- fears of overwriting
+ shock proof when dropping(not when recording or playing back)


hard drives
- hard drives fail
+ already captured and encoded
- data coruption
+ fast accessing
- expensive

solid state memory(memory cards)
- fails sometimes due to buffer loads
+ shock resistant
- even smaller than tapes and hard drives sometimes.
+ reusable
- can get too pricey
+ data transfer speeds are quick


dvds
+ cheap media
- pain in the ass to edit with
- not compatible with alot of DVD players
- discs are prone to scratches and even chips.


conclusion is that really no matter what you choose there are always problems that you might run into. personally myself, i prefer tape because i know that i know if i need some clips, i can pop the tape in and select what i want.
