taping your shots on record?

With constantly changing technology comes constantly changing terminology.

With a motion picture camera you film and on a mini DV camera you tape. So, what do you do with a HHD (hard drive) camera? Record? Maybe, but the term recording to me seems exclusive to dubbing, rather than initial capture of footage. Shoot? Possibly, but with the experience a friend of mine had with (then) Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton I say it's risky.

Does new technology warrant a new term? Or should we continue to use tape, shoot and film interchangeably?
