Pocket Camcorder Sony

Camcorder advice – please help!?
What is the difference between these pocket camcorders like the flip and the more traditional like the Sony Handycam? The valve is only for very short clips or something? I want a camcorder that I can record amounts throughout the film, which has a very long life batteries – should last as long as possible, and also the recording medium (hard disk? mini dv?) must allow an amount good recording. It does not have many bells and whistles. One thing that I could bring out at Christmas and record throughout the day. It should be easy to transfer movies on a Mac or a PC, then burn to DVD, and must be small and easy to take out and about. The valve good looks and small and basic but it does not seem that I can do more than short clips. Is this so? Suggestions? Between £ 100 and £ 350 would be a good thing!
The differences between the cams and handheld traditional players are quite large. Pocket camcorders are very limited in functionality, and use some type of memory card or internal hard drive. Depending on memory size, it could take minutes or hours. that for this type of cam, mini DV would be the most reliable but it is somewhat more difficult to transfer to a computer. It requires using a video capture software like Windows Movie Maker or iMovie on Mac. It requires also an IEEE cable 1394/Firewire/iLink. The good side of MiniDV is that you have a copy of the film, and that the tapes are inexpensive to acquire (stick with one brand to avoid problems with the recording heads). I would stay away from hard drive cam. It could cause problems and are not as fast as flash memory or on DV tape in the record. The Next Best is flash memory medium. But memory cards are more expensive. It is the easiest way to transfer to a computer. Each time you start and stop recording, it is saved in a separate file, so this already, it may be easier to find what you want. I do not know what to think, but I have had good experiences with Sony and Canon. I use currently the Canon HV30 HD MiniDV Camcorder. It's really good and very refined. Got it for about U.S. $ 600
