DVD camcorders record straight to both sizes and kinds of discs, DVD+R/W, DVD-R/W and Mini DVD. The biggest advantage is that you can put the discs directly into a PC for playback or home DVD player for watching on a TV.

A hard drive (HDD) camcorder is a tapeless camera that records to a built-in hard disk drive, similar to the hard drive found in laptop and notebook computers. They don't use videotape which saves you money from having to constantly buy them! They are usually smaller, lighter and faster than other camcorders. You have the option to access footage in any order, without having to fast-forward or rewind to a particular section. You can record more than 10 hours of fun at almost the same quality level as a DVD camcorders 30-minute mode.

Mini DV camcorders refer to the specific size of tape cassettes that these cameras use. This is very different than a camera using Mini DVD. Mini DV is inexpensive and widely accessible. It's relatively durable and offers better quality video than the other formats and it is by far the easiest media to edit! Because the tapes are small enough to fit in a shirt pocket, the Mini DV cameras can weigh less than some other camcorders.
