Camera advice please

We have just noticed that camcorders are now available with DVD disks in
them. They look so much easier to use and playback.
What is the difference between the mini DVD disks and the full ones i.e.
length of recording etc.

Good review at

Aries...

can you give us more details please John - perhaps a link ?

Mini DVDs hold 1.4Gb. Normal size DVDs hold 4.7Gb. Double sided DVDs
hold over 9 GB.
I use printable mini DVDs for my family pictures.

That is very interesting John, could you tell me which make of camera you
have please?

Sorry, I don't have a camcorder. Just answering your question about
capacity of 8cm DVDs.

They have some pretty snazzy ones up on the main road.
They even paint them orange so that they are easy to spot.
All you need is a white van and a step ladder

LOL! I don't think I would want one of those andon!!

We have a camcorder that uses a tape and not a memory card and find it very
difficult to playback, can't even play it back on the computer.
Any recommendations gratefully received!!
