Basicly the new camcorders that don't use DV or DVD but a 20-30gig harddrives but they do record still in:

"High-Quality MPEG-2 Video Recording (up to 720 x 480 / 60i in ULTRA mode) with Dolby Digital Audio (MOD file)"

So what you think?
I actually like these hard drive cameras for web production. I honestly find the resulting work to not be any worse in quality than most website content out there. It will save you a lot of time when compared to using miniDV tapes. These cameras come with cyberlink software that allows you to do some basic editing (ie add transitions, sound tracks, etc). I bought one a couple weeks back just to do some testing and the results are better than I imagined.
