My wife would like a video camera for her birthday. She wants one that writes directly onto a disc. Now I did some research on those about a year and a half or two years ago. At the time, I had the impression that those video cameras were not sufficiently developed. Seemed like it was too early to buy. Well now she wants one anyway.
So what would you recommend in the way of a machine that writes to some sort of disc? I don't picture her doing any editing. All of our previous cameras wrote to tape and they would get looked at once or twice a few years later, so I don't see much editing happening. My budget would go to around $800 if necessary. That's about all that I can tell you in the way of requirements.
What do you think? Thanks for any input.
