Records Video to Secure Digital Memory Cards

Canon FS100

from $499.00
The Canon FS100 is the most traditional camcorder in this roundup, with a standard form-factor and a gargantuan 48x optical zoom. One way it's not traditional, however, is that it records only to Secure Digital memory cards, making it a compact, lightweight camcorder. Canon has designed the FS100 to be simple, responsive, and approachable. In the words of one satisfied owner who submitted a review, the FS100 is "easy in the extreme." If a well-made, user friendly standard-definition camcorder is what you're looking for, you could do a lot worse than the Canon FS100.

Remarkably Simple!

Pure Digital Flip Video Mino

from $123.66
The Pure Digital Flip Video Mino is a simple, straightforward camcorder that records to 2GB of internal memory, allowing for 60 minutes of standard-definition video recording. This diminutive video recorder is stylish and flashy, with only three buttons on its uncluttered back panel. The Flip Mino makes it easy to take short clips and quickly post them to the internet on sites like YouTube or forward them along to friends and family via email. There's no hassle involved with the Flip Mino.
It's hard to convey just how small the Panasonic SDR-SW20 digital camcorder is. It can fit in your palm. It can fit in your pocket. Your smallest pocket. It's really, really small, believe us. The SW20 can be so small because it records to those tiny Secure Digital memory cards, and doesn't need to cram a big, bulky tape into its body. In addition to its small size, it's also waterproof, making it an excellent choice for family vacations at the beach or down by the hotel pool. It can be used in the water up to a depth of five feet. Despite being standard-definition, the SW20 can also record in 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio if you please, for wider, more inclusive video clips.
