Q. I want to buy a good full (1080p) HD camcorder mainly to record family events and vacations (theme parks, road trips etc.)
I want a small one that can fit in my pocket. I have absolutely no idea how to choose a camcorder let alone what brand to choose from.
Maybe a guideline on buying a camcorder or tips would be great :)

A. Getting a HD camcorder is taking a step backward in Video Quality. HD camcorders Interpolate the video, which means of every 25 frames of video, 4 or 5 frames are taken by the lens assembly, the other frames in between these are filled in by the camcorder inner circuitry, thus giving you not true video. MiniDV tape camcorders give every frame of every shot and usually cost less.

Consumer level HD camcorders have 4 problems. 1) Blurry, fuzzy, out of focus areas closely around people in videos taken by consumer level HD camcorders. 2) Any movement, even a wave or lifting an arm, while in front of a recording consumer level HD camcorder, results in screen ghosts and artifacts being left on the video track, following the movement. Makes for bad video, sports videos are unwatchable. 3) These Consumer level HD camcorders all have a habit of the transferred to computer files are something you need to convert, thus losing your HD quality, to work with your editing software. 4) Mandatory maximum record times - 1 hour, 30 minutes, 8 minutes, 3 minutes � four different times advertised as maximum record time for some consumer level HD camcorders. No event I have ever been to is that short. Either take multiple camcorders or pack up with out getting the end of the event on video.
MiniDV is currently the most popular format for consumer digital camcorders. MiniDV camcorders are typically more affordable than their HDD and DVD counterparts. Each MiniDV tape will typically hold an hour of footage at normal recording speed and quality. MiniDV tapes are available for purchase at not only electronic and camera stores, but also at drugs stores and grocery stores, making them easy to find while your on vacation. There are literally hundreds of MiniDV camcorders available; both in standard and high-definition.

hook up a webcam to my camcorder?
Q. i am getting ready for a game and i wanted to know is there a way to hookup a usb webcam to a camcorder?
A. Camcorders with a USB port generally use that USB port to transfer stills from a memory card or do "USB streaming" where the video from the camcorder's lens goes OUT from the camcorder or to copy video files form a hard drive or flash memory - again, out from the camcorder (and into the computer).
So while you can connect the USB web cam to the USB port on the camcorder, there is no intelligence in the camcorder to take the video from the USB web cam and somehow process that video somewhere in or through the camcorder.
And while you did not tell us which camcorder you are using so we can try locate the manual to be sure, I am fairly certain connecting a usb webcam to any camcorder will result in nothing happening.
