Camcorder formats explained
We give the lowdown on all the video jargon and buzzwords: from HD to HDD
Hybrid camcorders
The hybrid format refers to any camcorder that is compatible with more than one type of recordable media. Typically, this will be a combination of inbuilt memory and a memory card slot, such as SDHC. One of the most versatile hybrid camcorders we've looked at is the Sony HDR-UX20 . This high-def camcorder lets you record video to DVD, Memory Stick or its 8GB inbuilt hard drive.
These days, almost every camcorder on the market can be viewed as a hybrid, with the exception of memory card models and cheap MiniDV cameras. Bear in mind though, that some camcorders use additional media for still image recording only — which doesn't really count.
Best hybrid camcorder (standard-def): Sony HDR-SR10
