    By definition a camera takes still pictures and a camcorder takes moving pictures.

    The webbie says its a flash memory camcorder it means that it records to a card not a hard drive, out of the two HDD or flash card I would go for the flash card, less moving parts, video I think is slightly better But that's my opinion. there is a difference in the cost.

    Good luck
