Help! Questions about old time camcorders vs. digital camcorders?
We have a camcorder that we’ve used for about 9 years or so. We soley use it for taping vacations & holidays. It tapes on those small cartridges & then you can tape them to either VHS tapes or you can get then put on DVD. I want to get a small digital camcorder, like this one which will be on sale at Target:

Here are my questions: I take it these tiny digital camcorders use the same kind of little memory chips that digital cameras use; so then how do I get the film onto a DVD, or a VHS? And will the quality be comparable to the old dinosaur camcorder I use now?
(I am not a ‘technical’ person so plain English please!) Thanks for all your help
Here it is in a better color.http://www.amazon.com/Polaroid-DVF-130TC-Camcorder-2-0-inch-Titanium/dp/B002JIN1HK since it hasn’t been released there are no reviews. It has64 mb internal memory that will take a few minutes of video but you can add an sd memory card and I’d get an 8G. It’s brand new so no one knows if it takes good videos.
I’m not sure what kind of software it comes with for downloading and editing. It’s a cheap little camcorder, I hope it’s not crap.
