I have an old camcorder that uses minidv tapes and it has an awkward charger and transferring the tapes is never as easy as it should be. It's in 4:3, SD and the quality isn't great. So it's time I replaced it.
But the last time I looked at camcorders, minidv tapes were brand new. So I am well out of touch. Googling the topic has led to plenty of info about SC card camcorders and flash camcorders and so on. Many look small and very cool but there seems to be such a ridiculous amount of them that I'm a little baffled. Admittedly many look very similar so I'm not sure how wrong I could get it.
So... can anyone here recommend a decent modern camcorder? I'm assuming all are HD widescreen now, right? I'd like something compact if possible, easy to charge and easy to transfer video to computer. So balancing size and ease with quality. Good easy storage too - SD cards? Any recommendations?
