| What is an HDD camcorder? | |
| An HDD camcorder is a video camera that uses an internal hard drive instead of a tape. It is the successor of the miniDV camera, which uses tape but already records in digital format. The advantage of the HDD camcorder is that users no longer need to upload their tapes into their computers to convert the tape into a digital file. The HDD camcorder enables users to simply copy a file from one hard drive to the other, the same way files can be copied from one to another hard drive directory. HDD camcorders do not only save time and effort; the useful life of a tape is shorter than that of the data recorded in a hard drive. Moreover, tapes require certain storage conditions that are unnecessary for hard drives. |
| What is pinhole camera? | |
