I'm interested in buying a $299 camcorder that pretty much has everything I want in a camcorder, but it only allows LP instead of SP.  What are the differences and what are the pros and cons for both?  Will this affect the quality of the video I shoot?
What's the difference between SP and LP and its pros/cons?
"SP" stands for "Standard Play".  It will be the best quality recording.  "LP" is "Long Play", and will have a subsequent quality loss.  A 120 minute tape will record 240 minutes in LP.
Reply:The quality of LP is less than SP; however, you get much more time to shoot videos.  Try it out before you buy it.
Reply:The only differace is that LP allows a longer recording time than the SP format on a tape,  at the cost of some recording quality.
Reply:Tapes are cheap, so don't lower the quality of your recordings, it's not worth it.  If you need to record events over 60 mins onto one tape regularly, buy a different type of camera.
