Have just bought a JVC hard disc camcorder and have been told that the drives are very fragile. They are apprently rated to survive a “3g” fall and the PC tech I was talking to said that dropping one was all but guaranteed to shatter the drive. Are they really this fragile?
Thanks,

I currently have a sony digital 8 type camcorder, as well as canon sd400 camera which can take video. I like the idea and size of the current hard dirve camcorders, but quality of video is of utmost importance to me. How does the quality of video compare on these models? Thank you,
Angela.
