Hi all, I am thinking of buying a new camcorder, At the moment I have a hard drive model but the one I am looking to buy will be mini tape, possibly Canon XM2. At the moment when I load my hard drive down to PowerDirector I get the individual clips which I assemble into a full length film, how will this differ with tape? will I still be able to use all the editing aids IE fade's transitions,spliting of sound ect.

You will be able to do everything in PD that you could do with your HD based camera. With older tape cameras you had to capture the video in real time by connecting the video and audio outputs to the computer (or capture card/device). Newer tape cameras use firewire. If you go with firewire make sure you read the posts concerning damage which can occur to the camera from firewire.
