they always record direct to a memory card, so no digitization is reqired. The quality of the lens, microphone, and hardware can vary greatly, but these are usually better for video than a similarly priced point and shoot digital camera.

The downside is in the quality department. The lenses are usually cheaper and the cameras often don't have external micropone jacks. That said, they're simple, inexpensive, and great beginner cameras. I know professionals who sometimes choose to use a digital-type camera for ease of use.
