Camcorders: Standard-definition models still offer the best value.(Product/service evaluation)
You can expect a digital camcorder to deliver good or very good video. Here are the main types: MiniDV models,which record on tape cartridges compatible with older models, win on price, making them the type to consider first.DVD models are for those who most want ease of playback on a home player. Pricey hard-drive models easily transfer videos to a PC. Combination models have the advantages of the DVD and hard-drive types.More models are appearing that can record in high definition or on flash memory. And digital cameras are becoming more competitive with camcorders; most can record video and audio.
