How to choose a best HD camcorder?
Buying a right camcorder is a required course to get an ideal camcorder and enjoy it completely. So, how to choose?
Flash comes first!
For the smallest, lightest, and lowest-cost models--pocket camcorders in particular--an internal, fixed flash drive may be the camcorder's only storage option. In the case of pocket camcorders, storage space may top out at 4GB or 8GB, which is just enough space for an hour or two of footage.

However, you need a powerful computer to handle the complex decompression process. Your PC should have at least a 2GB multicore processor with 4GB of RAM for smooth (or at least not too painful) AVCHD file editing.
