Prospective camcorder buyers are faced with a choice of four types of camcorder recording media: hard disk, flash memory, MiniDV/HDV tapes, or mini-DVD. We run through the pros and cons of all four formats to make your purchasing journey a little less like a trip through Dante's nine circles of hell.

Reviews

  • Panasonic SDR-H250

    The H250 has a lot to offer today — notably a great lens, flexible storage and usable manual features — but it'll soon look as quaint and outmoded as VHS.

  • Sony Handycam HDR-SR1

    A very attractive high-end consumer camcorder, this is easy to use out-of-the-box, offering great features even if video quality could be better.

  • Sony DCR-SR40

    Sony's DCR-SR40 is a solid, midlevel, hard-drive-based option, though still-image buffs won't be impressed with this camcorder's submegapixel snapshots.

  • Apple iPod (20GB, colour)

    The newest 20GB iPod is much improved and still costs AU$449.

  • JVC Everio GZ-MG50

    Tired of buying camcorder media? Try the JVC Everio GZ-MG50's 30GB internal hard drive on for size.
