JVC First With A HD-Based Consumer Camcorder
kamesh writes "David Pogue writes in nytimes.com 'The days of storing computer data, music collections and Hollywood movies on spools of tape will soon be completely gone....JVC is the first company to see that particular light. Next month, it will release its new Everio GZ-MC100 and GZ-MC200.' Are tape based camcorders destined to die soon?"
I'm hoping that tape-based backup units will disappear and be replaced with something faster, cheaper, and more reliable.
Now on top of everything else I have to deal with I now get to defragment my camcorder.

- is this a record ?

Oh No!
HD = Hard Drive
HD = High Definition
Confusion in future Slashdot articles = imminent
Gee, that must have hurt! Is it still there?
DO NOT let George Lucas NEAR the things.
They should put some kind of removable media in it, like a tape drive or something so you can back up the hard drive on long trips without needing a laptop. On second thought, why don't they make camcorders that just record directly to inexpensive tapes and forgo the hard drive altogether? I'd buy one of those.
