George from the AfterShocks had a very cool HardDisk camcorder from JVC.
It has 30GB disk that provided 7 hours of very high quality recording.
It is so much more convenient not having to muck around with tapes. This is one of the first models out and he noted a couple of issues.
- It might need more flash RAM as when it was bumpy on the boat it hung a few times.
- The software to pull the files off is still a bit clunky as each push of the record button results in a different file. There are obvious improvements that will make the importing of video much easier, but that will come.
So hopefully by the end of the year there will be a heaps of choice and this type of camcorder will be standard.
The size of video is still an issue. What do you do with it once you pull it off the camera? Time for the home NAS (Network Attached Storage) like what Jay has.
