HD.. Hard Disc Drive ( HDD ) or HD Hi definition?
You can have an HD HDD camcorder too

What is true, is that some do, many dont.., and the no that do is dropping fast
Not sure why myself.. seems to be "consumer friendly".. Viewfinders are for nerds.. it would seem..try using LCDs in bright sunlight..and with a low battery..!

Just Check before you buy
