I'm interested in buying a Digital Camcorder but hardly know anything about it. I'm interested in possibly making some home videos and transferring them to my Hard Drive. How much space is this going to take up? What format will this be in? What sort of price for a good digital camcorder? How long can you film for on a digital camcorder? Can you buy a digital camcorder that films directly to AVI and is easily transferrable to PC using USB and can also store a few hours on its built in hard drive?

Just post anything you think might be helpful to me in buying a Digital Camcorder.

They were compressed using Windows Video Maker from the 640x480 WMVs the camera records. Depends on the purpose the video is for - mine was for streaming on the net, so I made it quite low quality. A bigger file would have been nearer the original quality.

128Mb does about 13 minutes, so 1Gb should do over an hour. Then you can just replace the card and carry on filming, or transfer it all to PC.
