High-Def Camcorders Go Small and Light

Newest models use flash memory, have high still-image resolutions.

If you desire a camcorder that can take a decent still this is you only option. I research fro other options for a long time and drew nothing better the a 3 megpix still.  The recorder itself also was reported not to do a great job.   I am also under the impression that these high resolution recorders still have many flaws in lighting and sound to work out.

My suggestion buy a good camera and an older tape style camcorder and get the best of both worlds.  Cheaper also.
