Cameras are evolving away from tape to the hard drive and more solid state options like memory cards. Sony just came out with its first hard drive camcorder, the DCR-SR100 with Dolby Digital 5.1 channel recording, while Sanyo surprised everyone with its sub-$800 high-definition HD1 which records to SD card (over 40 minutes per 2GB card.) Samsung, too just jumped into the card-based pool and recently released two flash memory-based sports camcorders with 2 LCDs, the 512MB SC-X205L ($500) and the 1GB car SC-X210L ($600.) And JVC has the Everio G series Hard Disk Drive camcorder with models offering wide screen mode.

Toshiba has returned to the consumer camcorder world with its recent release of the gigashot hard drive camcorder, and Hitachi has the 3.3 megapixel DZGX3300A and DZGX3200A, both of which burn on all DVD formats.
