Re:Best Camcorder (Score 1)

a) How many DVD recorders does one need to buy? Just buy one that plays back the disc. Go to http://www.dvdhelp.com to find the best DVD player. b) Just 30 minutes per disc? Big deal, use more than one disc. c)Discs cost more? But tape has a very limited life for reuse or for storage - whereas disc will last a lifetime. So which is actually cheaper? d) Right now the Hitachi DVD camcorder recording quality is better than most miniDV camcorders according to Consumer Reports - the non-profit research centre (the only one in North AMerica). AS well SOny and Panasonic have DVD camcorders out now.
