Hello I am new to this forum and am about to buy a new HD Camcorder. I know there are several different formats HDD, Memory card or even blu-ray and I don't want to use tape. Apart from the question of which is the best format I am also concerned about the time/date stamp. I take mainly videos of my family and want to store these on my pc with the time/date stamp showing so we know when they were taken. My experience with hdv is that the stamp is lost when you transfer it from the camcorder to pc by firewire or usb. My question is therefor what is the best format to use to get high quality hd footage and be able to transfer it to pc either directly or via any special hardware/software whilst retaining the time/date stamp. I am assuming that e.g. the hitachi blu-ray cam must produce a disc with the stamp on it which you could then copy onto the pc if necessary? My budget is upt to a max of £1500 and i am not looking for a large pro type cam.
