Review Team — Tue, 23 Oct 2007 02:31:16 +0000

The Panasonic SDR-H18 (SDRH18) is a digital camcorder the records to a 30GB hard drive or optional SD memory cards. Hard drive camcorders are slowly growing to replace video cameras that record to tape or discs because of the simplicity of not having to deal with those types of recording media. They may have some additional costs initially but not paying for tapes or even more expensive mini discs may save you money in the long run. It is pretty simple to transfer to computer. The biggest downsides are limited storage space. You can always record to SD memory cards but these can quickly get expensive. The 30GB hard drive is big enough for most users but if you were unable to empty the hard drive, you may run out of room. You also are forced to store your empty your hard drive on to something unlike tapes and discs where you can permanently keep your video.
