Hybrid high-def 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 an inbuilt hard drive 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 camcorder lets you record high-def video to DVD, Memory Stick, or its inbuilt 8GB hard drive.
