I'm entering the market for a new camcorder and this seemed like the best thread to resurrect. I have numerous questions. First, I know I either want a HDD or SD/CF camcorder. Here are a few I've been looking at:
JVC GZ-MG155 - won the "Best Low-End HDD/Flash" category in camcorderinfo.com's
The Best Camcorders of 2007
Samsung SC-MX10 - attractive price at ~$250
Samsung SC-HMX10 - HD version of MX10
Here are my questions:
1. Should I even be looking at SD camcorders since I have started to go with my other electronics?
2. The Samsung SC-HMX10 has 8Gb of internal memory which it says will allow for 90 minutes of recording time. Is this true? I figured HD would take up more space than that.
3. If I do go with an HD camcorder, will I need to buy a blu-ray burner and special software for authoring? Right now I have a DVD burner and I use Nero to burn.
4. If I go with the Samsung SC-MX10 (SD), what size flash mem card should I get to allow at least 2 hours of recording?
Thanks for any help!
