Then they have really maxed out those cards.
I was not aware that they were putting them out. They are expensive
though (I looked 60-160 per card)
The ones with the Harddrive option are not bad.
I would not advocate getting one with tape today as SS memory is the
best option (Quicker and cleaner) (Also note one of the biggest
problems with any tape type of recording device is head alignment!!!!!)
However notice 1.5 hours on 8 GB card. Video takes a lot of room,
and if you are doing a lot of recording have lots of cards available.

You are incorrect. See http://tinyurl.com/4nms5n . And high end pro
camcorders are also doing away with tape; Panasonic has no tape models
at all this year. You're right that some tapeless systems use hard
drives or disks, but solid state memory is cheap these days so that's
the direction everyone's heading.
Even at 21mbps you can get 1.5 hours on a cheap 8GB SDHC card. And
these prices are falling all the time.
I'm telling you now, if you're looking for a new camcorder, do NOT get
one with a tape drive in it, unless they offer you a _really_ good
deal.
>USB 2 is actually behind firewire.
I have no idea what you mean here, as we were discussing USB3 here. I
guess you mean that, on paper, USB2 is slightly slower than 1394a? No
matter, as USB3 will rival eSata speeds and is killing off 1394
entirely.
