I have seen a nice 30 GB hard drive camcorder. In fact you can easily
make your own ;-) by combining (as I do ) a Firestore (30BG) with any
Sony (or other firewire equipped) camcorder! I can record, then FTP
the files directly from the hard drive (I dare not call it an "HD" in
THIS group!) into my video server and play out immediately.
