Camcorders using MiniDV Tapes

MiniDV tapes are the established standard for camcorder recording media. They can hold lots of video, you can carry as many spares as you need, and camcorders record an uncompressed digital video image, so quality is high. New formats include hard disk and media card, or direct recording to a DVD. These formats have advantages, notably that there's no winding or rewinding. As media cards and hard disks get bigger, MiniDV will probably fade into disuse, but this will take many years; until then, it's the clear standard.
