Is the flip camcorders memory expandable?

VHS-C vs. flash memory camcorders?

• I still use a JVC GX-AX200 VHS-c camcorder from 1995 with the Random Assemble feature. I've wondered about updating, but all the new digital camcorders I've seen tend to produce grainy pictures, where my old one has a beautiful picture. Other than the sheer size of it, it works fine, but it just seems to obsolete (not having an external screen and having physical zoom). Should I update to a digital format or continue to convert my videos from tape to my computer?

• Answer:

  I originally wasn't going to spend so much on a new camcorder. I had bought the Canon HF 100 a few years ago, and was fairly happy with it. It was nice, but definitely had its drawbacks. So, I started researching Canon's new line for 2011 and was torn between the M40 and G10. Having the new CMOS Pro sensor was a must. Everything I read about the low light capabilities sold me. Basically Canon went with a smaller pixel count (exactly 1920 x 1080), which in turn makes the pixels larger and better in low light shooting. I originally bought the M40 and was very happy with it, but started to realize it wasn't fitting all my needs. That went back, and I went with the G10. I have not looked back since!
