Hard-drive based video cameras

Some people ask me what camcorder to buy. I usually tell them to get something with a Firewire connector, but otherwise the sky’s the limit. Most then ask me about tape vs. drive, and I usually explain that tapes are cheap and easily available.

But if you absolutely want to know about them, here’s a link to a press release which Yahoo! somehow thought was newsworthy, about JVC’s new 5-hour hard drive, high definition camcorder.
