Using a HD 720p camcorder, What size SD card should I buy?

Q. Using a HD 720p camcorder, What size SD card should I buy?

I am thinking of buying a Sanyo Xacti VPC-TH1 High Definition camcorder and I dont know what size SD card to buy...

I want to record about 2 hours in 720p so which size should I get?
Is there any rough kind of guide to follow?

A. the camera specs appear to indicated that it is designed for 16 GB memory cards. the battery is good for 200 minutes, and 16 GB is 230 minutes of HD video. However if you plan on using the still photo capability of the camera, that will reduce the minutes of available video. An 8 GB card will be just short of 2 hours of HD video.

Original Question

Will it be better to invest in a camcorder than a camera?

Q. I'm wondering if I should buy the Flip MinoHD Camcorder, 2nd Generation, or buy a Nikon D3000. I'm new with photography and filming, and its basically just as a hobby that I will be doing this, to make some memories. A part of me is telling me the camera will be better, but I'm kind of confused.

A. It totally depends on what you'd be doing more (photography/filming). If you are able to spend a little more and go for the nikon D5000, you can get a great entry level DSLR camera which is able to take 720p HD Movies, all in one.
