It’s no coincidence that most camcorder vendors are phasing out all other formats in favour of flash memory. Here's our pick for the Top 5 flash memory-based camcorders on the market. We've tried to include a mix between high-end performers and affordable models to suit every budget.

The Panasonic HDC-Sd700 is everything that a high-def camcorder should be. It provides a wealth of advanced features for experienced videographers, while remaining very user-friendly for beginners. Without question, it is one of the best HD camcorders in its price range.
