I didn't get the impression that we were supposed to believe it was a disc based camera (either DVD or hard disk) . What came to my minds eye was something like an XACTI .. a very small, memory card based unit .. *very* rugged compared to either real tape or DVD or hard disk. I think using the term "tape" was more as a convenience. It's the most common term and does not need any further explanation. If not a card based camcorder .. than a mini-DV unit would be my next choice. Richard Amirault Boston, MA, USA http://n1jdu.org http://bostonfandom.org http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7hf9u2ZdlQ
