When consumers find out that miniDVD camcorders aren't worth the price of
the disc they record on, there'll be a massive revolt :-)
I've stopped counting the number of students (whose parents have bought
these things) who do a shoot with these pieces of junk and then expect us to
edit it (and add lots of cheesy effects) - and maintain picture quality!!
XDCAM? Yes. miniDVD - no wfay!!
