What is a flash camcorder?
Flash Camcorders are camcorders which record video onto flash
memory instead of a video tape. The flash memory can be a removable
memory card (SDHC, Memory Stick, xD), or it can be built-in memory
which is not removable. Some camcorders like the Canon HF S10 have
both removable memory and built-in memory. Removable memory is
generally better in a flash camcorder because when you fill the
memory, you can record more by inserting an empty memory card.
Whereas with built-in you have to move the videos onto a computer
before recording more video. See related links for a list of flash
camcorders.
