Like the thread title says, my family needs a camcorder for the next week or so. I'm not at home to help them decide, and Consumer Reports apparently failed them already with the recommendation of a sketchy Hitachi camcorder with those mini-DVDs as storage. Long story short on that thing, a Canon camera with a secondary feature to take movie clips was more reliable than it.
I'm hoping there's a camcorder out there that can record with re-usable storage (flash memory?), and can easily transfer from the camcorder to the PC, and then burn to a DVD using Windows. The camcorder will be used for casual stuff, but the first thing it will be used for is an outdoor fast-moving sport (lacrosse). Price range is $200-300.
I just remembered, they don't like buying stuff online, so the selection will probably be narrowed down to Best Buy (since Circuit City kicked the bucket).
Really appreciate all the input, and many thanks in advance.
