So, after a little research, I am probably going to purchase a Flash Memory camcorder instead of a Hard Disk Drive camcorder. If I purchase this Canon camcorder, I'm definitely going to purchase a 32 GB SDHC memory card. For those with "camcorder experience", what do you think? Also, what video software would be a good choice along with this camcorder?
Answer
If our only choices are between hard disc drive and flash memory for video storage, then the Canon HF S series is the better choice. The file formats of the video are the same (very highly compressed AVCHD files in MTS format), so the video quality will be similar. The difference is that HDD camcorders have known issues (vibration, high altitude) that flash memory camcorders do not share (nor do miniDV tape). As well, with fewer moving parts, the same battery in a flash memory camcorder or a HDD camcorder will last longer in the flash memory camcorder.
Any AVCHD editor will work - Sony Vegas, Adobe Premiere, iMovie '08 or newer or FinalCut float to the top. Be sure your computer exceeds the CPU, RAM and available hard disc drive space requirements. AVCHD is a pig.
Personally, I would prefer the Canon HV40, but there are different requirements for the more "pro-like" miniDV tape and that media was not on your short list.

How does one transfer the video or 'still pictures' from the Canon 210 Camcorder onto their PC?

I've just recently purchased a Canon 210 Camcorder. It has some nice features but what the vendor didn't tell me was that I wouldn't be able to download the video or the 'still pictures' onto my PC for further editing. Help. All answers are appreciated.
Answer
All video cameras can be used on most computers, I'm not sure if this is a minidvd camera but i think so, if I'm wrong I am going to put 2 answers.
If you have a mini dvd camcorderâ¦.
You will have to finalize your dvd in the camera and then put the dvd in your computer's DVD burner (top loading only) and then you will have to convert the files (I downloaded handbrake file converter free) and import them into your editing program. Use the HELP feature in your editing program to learn about editing. Once you are ready to burn, your project will be burned to a different DVD and you can file the original away.
If you have a mini dv (cassette) camcorderâ¦.
Your dv camcorder needs a firewire connection (ieee 1394) in order to download video, your PC probably did not come with a firewire port, so you will have to buy one and install it, since most computers (except possibly brand new) don't come with a firewire port, your camcorder did not come with a firewire cord so you have to purchase a cord too. Your camcorder did come with a USB cord and that is used for downloading stills from your camcorder. Make sure your camera is in playback mode.
The fine print in your manual makes reference to firewire (ieee 1394) connection.
