An article over at Businessweek Magazine is discussing two new camcorders that use no moving parts and instead write their data to memory cards! Imagine filming your family reunion and putting the SD card into your PPC so you can replay the scene where your drunk uncle falls off the boat! Well, that is well on it's way according to the reviewer who says he was "never a fan of camcorders," the quality is very good even on a large screen TV. Because of the short recording times, neither of these will make tape-based camcorders obsolete anytime soon. But it's easy to see where they're headed. SD-card slots are showing up everywhere, from Palms (PLMO ) to printers to DVD recorders. I popped the card out of the Fisher and into a Kodak kiosk at Sav-On Drugs and got 39 cent prints in five minutes. And I slid the card from the Panasonic into a Panasonic DVD recorder and burned my home movies onto a DVD. You'll never be able to do either with tapes from a camcorder.
