Hey, I saw a camera that writes directly to an optical disc!
To tape
More expensive over time than just going straight to disk, since you
want it on disk to edit anyway and tape media degrades far faster
than hard drives.
It's OK if the tape degrades as long as the player can still tell the
difference between a 0 and a 1. Since the data is digital the image
shouldn't degrade. Before then you can transfer the data to a hard
drive, CD, or DVD.
or camera memory,
They don't make memory that big yet.
If Chris Hedemark's 40 GB hard drive is too small for it, how could
a couple gigs of memory be enough? (Unless you mean flash memory, in
which case the answer is that it's too slow. EEPROM writes slower
than disk writes slower than RAM.)
In the case of camera memory I was thinking of digital stills.
or to the hard drive individually.
That'd be fine if you only had one running at a time, but if you're
filming something live (like, say, a wedding), you probably want to
cover a couple of angles at all times and splice it together later.
In that case using the cameras' built-in recording medium is safer. The
more connections and components used the less reliable the equipment
will be. You only get one shot...do not miss your change to
record...this opportunity comes once in a lifetime. (Hey, that sounds
familiar.)
