The best flash media camcorders come in the smaller pocketable and compact form factors. Flash Media is by far the most expensive storage solution as compared to Hard Disk Drive and Mini-DV storage formats. Consequently, Flash Media camcorders mostly store the high compression and low quality AVCHD format and typically range from around 8GB to about 64 GB in size. The biggest advantage of Flash Media camcorders is that due to the solid-state storage construction they are most resistant to rough handling - unlike the hard drive based camcorders which are more prone to storage failure from rough handling.
