A Tapeless Digital Camcorder For Your Pocket

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the record-everything dept.

spullara writes "I've been waiting a long time for a small, tapeless, easy to use digital camcorder. Tapes wear out, they require playback in realtime, and make producing ad hoc movies time consuming. Without these types of recorders you can forget about iVideoPodcasting. I found the Fisher FVD-C1 at an Apple Store last week and it was amazing, but it turns out there is a better one being imported from Japan, the Xacti DMX-C4 thats nearly identical, but better. You can read my review of it here (I have no association with any of these businesses). Wouldn't it be great if one of these devices had WiMAX to upload directly to the internet?"

    As you might have read, my wife and I are having our first baby. So, of course, we needed a video camera.

    Sometimes I wonder how mankind had come to a certain stage of development without.

    The video standards of the porn industry aren't that stringent.

    BTW, have we ever seen a first post that has been so informative - mod the parent to +10 - nice work roman mir

    Huh?

    Try giving credit where it's due: all roman mir did was re-post the original article without giving proper accreditation- he deserves "-1, Stealing Other People's Reviews".
