Don,

I think you'll find that before too long, you won't be able to find such a thing as a "tape" version of a camcorder.

Suggest you go Digital. Both of my kids have 'em, record for hours at a time, and it's simply a matter of plugging them into the computer and dubbing the contents onto a disc, or into a folder. (At least that's what my teenaged grand daughter tells me.
