And if these great devices use the h.264 format then MPEG-LA effectively owns all of the video you shoot.
No thanks!

Can you elaborate on this ? Inquiring minds want to know....

MPEG-LA only promises free non-commercial use. The second you try to make money from video you shoot that's in h.264 format you may be required to pay MPEG-LA a royalty.

@Tim Patterson MPEG-LA does not own any of your video, under any circumstances. The only royalties they are going to try to collect will be from broadcasters using AVCHD encoders to encode video for broadcast.
Try doing some reading before you spout off...

Take your own advice. You are WRONG!
Free video streaming has been given a reprieve until 2016. By then it will have proliferated and MPEG-LA can screw people royally.
If you want to charge for access to video you shoot in this format it's and entirely different story.
What MPEG-LA is attempting to do here is dirty and rotten and it should be illegal!

Are there any affordable tape based camcorders? some of us still like to edit our efforts?
@Atlantadave Are you saying you like to edit the "old fashioned" way, with a scissors and splicing tape?
Most people these days do their video editing on a computer.

Rachel, what's your opinion on JVC GZ-HM1? It is an extremely high-quality camcorder, I have it's previous incarnation GZ-HM400, the picture is stunning.
I heard that video/and photo quality is dependent on the size of the negative (the CCD in the case of a camcorder). To resolve this, professional photographers use so called large format cameras with big negatives.
If this is true, a bunch of close lying pixels in the thin low cost camcorders you propos just show exactly the same information. Don't you think this is somewhat of a rip-off?
The same is of valid for 12 Mpixel mini cameras, 12 Mpixel mobile phones etc.
Please reiview such hardware taking the size of the sensor inot account. The monster camcorders at the end of your review probably have quite big sensors. Othewhise it would be just stupid choosing them over the four ounce cameras with HD in the beginning.
