The JVC GZ-MC200 and GZ-MC100 Camcorders come with a 4 GByte microdrive, and will record at DVD quality for one hour. Let's hope that by the time Christmas 2005 rolls around the 4 GByte CF card will be the storage medium of choice for these camcorders. It might be worth taking a second look at: camcorderinfo.com "One of the most groundbreaking features of both the GZ-MC200 and GZ-MC100 is their capability to record to Microdrive media. Both camcorders record at a bit rate of 8.5 Mbps in ultra-fine mode, which yields 60 minutes of video onto the included 4GB Microdrive, a medium similar in scope and compatibility to that used by portable music devices popular right now. Both camcorders also accommodate CompactFlash cards and SD Memory Card media. JVC’s Microdrive is similar in size to CompactFlash cards, but with a capacity of four gigabytes. In lower quality modes, the GZ-MC200 and GZ-MC100 can store up to 300 minutes of video in Economy mode (352x240/30p) and 9,999 standard size JPEGs (640x480). The better quality video modes record at 720x480/60i." We will have to depend on Bruno for in situ information on his new Solid State Camcorder. Question: How much time will it take for the video to be copied to the hard disk in the PC and subsequently burning a DVD? I will need a new camcorder next summer when my daughter will visit us from Greece. I found this while reading about the JVC camcorder: "There are 10 kinds of people in the world - Those who understand binary and those who don't." NHP
