Best flash memory camcorders

The Top 5 flash memory camcorders on the market

If you're looking to buy a new camcorder it makes sense to go with a flash memory version. Flash memory-based camcorders are quieter, smaller and more energy efficient than other video formats — including hard disk-based. 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.

To read our full, in-depth review, click on the model name of each camcorder.
