Digital tape will only account for 14% of the European camcorder market by 2010 ... By 2010, DVD will have clearly established itself as the format of choice for mass market consumers, and will account for nearly half of all camcorders shipped ... The HDD camcorder is still a niche product, but has outperformed the expectations of many, performing particularly well in the Japanese market. Though it has a more complex workflow and archiving process when compared with DVD, consumers are becoming familiar with the variety of HDD-based devices within their homes. As the migration of HDD from PCs to MP3 players, set top boxes and games consoles continues, its many benefits will become more widely recognised, making it an attractive alternative to DVD. By 2009, U&S predicts HDD will have overtaken digital tape to become the second most popular choice amongst camcorder purchasers, accounting for 31% of all camcorder shipments in Europe ... Moving forward, high-end digital cameras, hybrid 'still-cams' and mobile phones will increasingly steal share of the video capture market.

The consumer will always favour convenience over quality.

As for the article itself - as my 9 year old daughter would say - "Well, der !"
