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.

I have a new JVC gz-mg130u Hard Disk camcorder. I used to have a MiniDV camera that could be connected to the computer and used as a webcam too. I can’t seem to find this feature in the menu once the camera is connected, or rule it out either. Does anyone have this camera and know if it can double as a webcam?
Thanks!

I am looking for a hand held camcorder hard disk around about $200 and $300 plus the best place to purchase it.
