I was trying to avoid getting in to the concept of architecture vs codec but I spose it just muddies the issue. I will do what i can to clarify. The Animal You are absolutely right!

You can use severa different codecs (audio and video) INSIDE an ARCHITECTURE. EG: QuickTime format for a file and two codecs: H.264 or Sorenson for video and AAC or IMA for audio...

To start, HD and HDV (high definition vs. High definition Video) are one and the same as far as I am concerned, anyone tell ya different is just trying to sell you something expensive. AVCHD stands for 'Advanced Video Codec High Definition' and is just the latest one to hit the market (panasonic and sony started using it in 2006). It currently is doing a good job of storing HD video. It isn't the 'future' it is just the current format, and it will be replaced by another codec in the future.. thats the way these things work. Hope that answers your first questions. I would stay away from the DVX100b, and the XL2. neither can record HD to a DV tape. They use very expensive hard drives. The GL2 and the DVC30 are not high def and you will be let down if thats what you were looking for. I believe it is truly silly to go non HD at this stage of the game if you are shelling out this kind of money. The Sony HVR-A1U, the v1u and the Canon XH-A1 have all the things you are looking for and are the safe bet. It is up to you to fiddle with them in the shop and see which one feels right to you. I am not a camcorder reviewer so I can't tell you which one is best. I personally use a Sony... Hope that answers your second bunch of questions. The Animal Thats a pretty tall order novicedocmaker.

I appreciate what you've written and think you explain things clearly. What's the difference between HD and HDV? And is AVCHD really the future? The latest issue of Videomaker magazine seems to suggest that with the new cameras coming out this year from Sony and Panasonic. One guy who's trying to sell me his camera is telling me that his recommendations for cameras are DVX100B, XL2, GL2, DVC30, or anything Sony. I believe the last part about Sony. I really think the Sony HVR-A1U and the V1U models are sweet. I also like the Sony VX-2100. Finally one friend recommends the Panasonic HVX200 DVCPRO and the Canon XH-A1. My head is spinning with all the choices. I do agree with you that MiniDV tape is cheap and is more durable than the memory sticks or whatnot. I'm interested in having a camera that can do the run-n-gun piece for news websites but I also want one with excellent resolution, XLR inputs, and low-light performance for doing the documentary-style full feature or the special event (i.e. weddings). Could you help me sort this out? I’m looking for advice about the best type of camcorder to get. I appreciate what you’ve written and think you explain things clearly.
