MoFoto 500GB Portable Video Storage Device Review | The Camcorder Review
We've reviewed a lot of flash memory camcorders, and generally we think flash camcorders are the best of breed of the digital camcorders. They are smaller, lighter, less power hungary, and more reliable, but one thing we've never liked about them is the limited video storage. As the recording quality has skyrocketed up to 1080p @ 60 frames per second, the amount of storage space needed to operate one of these camcorders rapidly exceeds the current size of flash memory cards. And even more disturbing is the high performance memory cards needed to record at that quality are VERY expensive. One of our editors stumbled upon the MoFoto Portable Video Storage Device, and we realized that it would be a great companion to the flash camcorders we like so much.
Canon VIXIA HF S10 HD Dual Flash Memory w/32GB Internal Memory & 10x Optical Zoom Review | The Camcorder Review
The VIXIA HF S10 HD Dual Flash Memory w/32GB Internal Memory & 10x Optical Zoom is the Canon’s flagship consumer flash memory camcorder. The most amazing feature of the VIXIA HF S10 is the professional quality lens. It comes with a genuine Canon 10x HD Video Lens that helps to get perfect pictures comparable to those taken from a professional camera. Due to the Super Spectra Coating technology you can get pictures that are crisp, clear, and with the least flare and ghosting. The electronics on the camcorder are relatively small, compared to the massive lens. With a f/1.8 - 3.0 apeture, you can easily get the professional bokeh (background blur) to better draw the focus to your subject. The video quality difference between the lens on the HF S10 and the HF 200 is noticable and worth the extra cash.
Canon FS200 Flash Memory Camcorder w/37x Optical Zoom Review | The Camcorder Review
One of the best features of the Canon FS200 Flash Memory Camcorder w/37x Optical Zoom is its ultra light weight. This Flash Memory Camcorder weighs only 7.9 ounces and measures 2.2 inches wide, 2.3 inches high, and 4.8 inches deep. It has a quick response time because it doesn’t have to wait for moving parts before it starts recording. The other positive about it is the lower power consumption so that the battery lasts longer. It is more shock resistant than other systems. It also reduces the chances of data loss.
Samsung HMX-H106 HD SSD Flash Memory Camcorder w/64GB Memory & 10x Optical Zoom Review | The Camcorder Review
The HMX-H106 is a Flash Memory camcorder that is light weight, sleek, and stylish and it operates without any noise. It uses the Progressive Scan technology to deliver high quality video. It captures HD quality video in progressive mode (1080/30p). The resulting videos are clearer, crisper, and detailed even if the subject is in motion. This technology delivers smooth images even when the video is played back at 2x, 4x, or 8x the normal speed.
Flip Ultra HD Camcorder Review | The Camcorder Review
You can start recording with the Ultra HD in just seconds. The minimalist controls include a four-way directional pad with a record start/stop button in the middle and the play and delete buttons on either sides of the pad. That is it to the menu. Since there are no tapes or cards, so you will have to offload the videos to a computer once the memory is full. It can record 120 minutes of 720p HD video on 8 GB of built-in memory. But the absence of a removable memory card slot limits what you can record. Even though it lets you record 120 minutes of video, there are times when you need more than that.
Flip Ultra HD Camcorder Review | The Camcorder Review
Like the Flip Ultra, the Flip Ultra HD is the easiest and simplest camcorder that you can lay your hands up on. Its makers have lived up to their promise of simplicity. But in the name of ease-of-use all of the Flips have been more or less replicas of each other, with just a feature or two added to every successor. According to me the biggest selling point of this as simple as it can get machine is its ease of use, ironically making it a miss fit for experts. It doesn't have all the high end features like the optical image stabilization, the viewfinder, memory cards, video lights, or even a lens cap. Its Menu, consisting of just 4 buttons, can be described in a jiffy.

Canon VIXIA HV40 HD HDV Camcorder with 10x Optical Zoom Review | The Camcorder Review
The Canon HV40 comes from a rich heritage of MiniDV/HDV camcorders. While the HV40 is not a revolutionary release, it does continue the legacy by adding to the great quality of the HV30. The major new feature is the addition of 1080/24p frame rate. This mode is a welcome addition for those who want to shoot in cinema mode. 1080/30p is also still supported.

Flash Memory Camcorders vs MiniDV Camcorders | The Camcorder Review
MiniDV has dominated the camcorder market for over a decade, but that stronghold is beginning to weaken. Flash memory camcorders, hard disk camcorders, and optical media camcorders are all aiming to take MiniDV's place as the king of the camcorder. New small and feature rich flash camcorders provide strong competition for MiniDV camcorders. Still, MiniDV is not dead yet, so which one should you buy?
Flash Camcorders vs Hard Drive Camcorders | The Camcorder Review
The popularity of Flash camcorders and Hard Drive camcorders is rapidly increasing. The question is which one should you buy? It's a tough decision because Hard Drive and Flash camcorders have so much in common that there is really very little different about them. They both offer instant access to the video that you've recorded, High Definition (up to 1080P) recording, great accessibility from your computer, and many more features. In fact, most manufacturers use the same optics and electronics to produce a HDD version and Flash version of the same camcorder, so the only real difference between the two is where they store their video and the implications that has on how you use the device.
