This means you don't have to worry about any tape or DVD format. The recording goes direct to a hard disk drive and from there you can download it direct to a PC or a DVD recorder or even a video tape recorder, VHS or even Beta(if they still exist). The point is that you choose the recording media you want. All the information is stored directly to a hard disk drive. Mini DV, more convenient easy to record. Many people find it too hard to trasfer recordings to a PC. DVD too many quirks to list, but not very good in a camcorder. One being, you have to let it finalize before you can change out the DVD if you run out of recording space. Any advantage over the other is purely on the consumer end's preferences. Depends really on what type of convenience or inconvenience, for that matter, the end user is willing to live with. VHS...please! Do you even have to ask? With a hard disk drive based camcorder the choice of media transfer is up to the end user. The PC will not have a hard time recognizing another hard disk drive, however, the PC seem to always have trouble with camera peripherals. With this in mind, transferring your movies and using them for web images has just become a lot easier. |
