I use a JVC GZ-MG21E camcorder that has a 20gig hard drive... it gives ya about 4.5 hours in high res mode, 9 hours in standard & 25 hours in economy lo-res mode.
It splits whatever you film into 5 minute long files & it connects to the PC with a USB lead... the files can be simply dragged & dropped from the camera to your HD.
It also takes an SD card that you can record video directly to as well, but I just use the SD card for storing still images on personally, cos it's quicker than connecting the camera to the PC when I take pics for textures.
The only downer I've found with it so far is the resolution of the still images... 640 x 480... the video it records hi-res mode, is outstanding!... the normal res is about on par with Hi-8 & the lo-res is about the same as VHS.
It comes packaged with Cyberlink Power Director & Power Producer... all ya have to do is drop the files into the time-line & then edit em how ya like. Then you have options to make either a web streaming movie, high quality DVD, MP4, AVI... etc etc
