A tapeless camcorder is a camcorder that does not use video tape for the digital recording of video productions as 20th century ones did. Tapeless camcorders record video as digital computer files onto data storage devices such as optical discs, hard disk drives and solid-state flash memory cards.
Inexpensive pocket video cameras use flash memory cards, while some more expensive camcorders use solid-state drives or SSD; similar flash technology is used on semi-pro and high-end professional video cameras for ultrafast transfer of High-definition television (HDTV) content.
Camcorders using DVD media were popular at the turn of the 21st century due to the convenience of being able to drop a disc into the family DVD player; however, DVD capability, due to the limitations of the format, is largely limited to consumer-level equipment targeted at people who are not likely to spend any great amount of effort video editing their video footage.
Most consumer-level tapeless camcorders use MPEG-2, MPEG-4 video compression or its derivatives as Video coding formats. They are normally capable of still-image capture to JPEG format additionally.
If you were on the bleeding edge of technology in 2003, you might've bought a Pretec DV-2400i... and then regretted it six months later, when Sanyo and Panasonic came out with far superior SD card camcorders. But the Pretec claims to be the world's first to record "VHS quality" video onto SD cards -- back when the biggest card you could get was 512 MB (costing over $300).

DXG 202V tapeless camcorder. 2.0 megapixels. Still being sold on Ebay as high as $69.00 and as low as this one: $7.99. I bought it just to say "I got a camcorder for $7.99 " We can guess it would have playbacks like this. ------------------------- I've bought a couple of DXG 506v's.They had a 5M image, but also noisy audio like this one. The thing that's different about the 202V is that the LCD screen is not on the side, but on the top with the camcorder held horizontally. The picture is of cell phone quality. Would be OK for kids. Thanks, I'm Ken Bastahrd.
