Not quite right.
You're confusing HD (High Definition)
resolution which may be stored in a variety of
formats which may be stored on a variety of
media
High Definition may be stored on Tape (HDV format on miniDV tapes) which does require capturing, or it may be stored on Hard Disk or SD card (or other memory card) which can be copied as any other computer file.
And just to confuse the issue further there are hard drive and SD Card standard definition cameras.
So, among other options you can record HD on HDV or HDD or SD and you can record SD on SD or HDD
