Which model number? They have some out now that record on DVD's, and some record on a hard drive in the camera, so you can download it straight to the computer to edit and put on a DVD. It is hard for me to justify going from my VHS-C to another that records on a small tape the same way, but I might if only for battery life per charge. I can only get maybe 15 minutes out of my battery, so it is almost worthless.
