 LOL.
 
 Except we'll see him on this newsgroup after he's spent a few months with
 one of the HDD machines asking, "Why don't my DVDs look as good as the one
 the videographer did of my sister's wedding?"
 
 THEN he'll learn. ;)

 I use my camcorder for travel video, and generally will shoot 5 to 10 hours
 of raw video a week.  That's 70 to 140 gigs on a 3-week trip.  It would
 defeat the point of the convenience of direct-to-disk capture if I had to
 transfer everything to a laptop every night.
