Reviews about hard disk comcorders? Which one is better?

Such as the ones like JVC Everio, or sony or any of the DVD camcorders.

Are DVD recorders better than hard disk?



Answer
The current top 3 HDD camcorders are:
Sony HDR-SR1
Sony DCR-SR100
JVC GC-MG505

Personally, I bought the DCR-SR100, and I'm very happy with the video quality. I like that it stores to the hard drive, and that I don't have to buy any additional media (blank tapes/DVDs, etc.)
The video quality is probably on par with the DVD camcorders as they both record video in the same mpeg2 format. The downside for DVD camcorders (at least for me) is that each mini-DVD only holds about 20 minutes of video - whereas the 30G HD can hold > 7 hours of video at the best quality setting.
