Digital Camcorders – More Fun Than Ever
With your trusty digital video camera with you you can capture all those special moments, for example your child’s steps, your birthday or wedding, or your trip with friends and family etc.
Because of so many manufacturers and models available in digital video market, you may find it confusing attempting to pick the perfect one for you. Your decision will, however, rely on the characteristics that you want and just how much you’re prepared to spend.
The most important thing to consider is the format by which your videos is going to be stored, as the video format determines the recording quality. Digital 8 otherwise called D8, Mini-DV, DVD and HDD would be the main types of video format that digital cameras offer. Both D8 and Mini-DV are tape-based formats, with the Mini-DV currently offering the highest quality video format to consumers. The DVD format allows direct video recording onto a digital disk, as the HDD type uses internal hard disk drives where the video is recorded. Because the tape format is slowly being eliminated by major manufacturers, it’s a good idea to invest in disk or hard disk based digital video cameras.
Digital camcorders like Samsung SMX-C20 Ultra Compact Camcorder also come with charged coupled device or CCD imaging sensor. Digital camcorders include 1-CCD or 3-CCD features. Cameras with 1-CCD suffer from poor video quality, whereas 3-CCD cameras produce much better quality videos. Best camcorders make use of the 3-CCD technology, thus which makes them more costly compared to other models.
The optical zoom feature from the camcorder lens generally ranges from 10X to 20X. The choice of zoom depends upon how close you need to arrive at the action. Some digital camcorders also allow still photography at various resolutions, and some camcorders offer both video and still photography features. Some digital video camcorders have in-built flash for low-light photography, although some video cameras come with a ‘Night Shot’ feature. Other popular options include external flashlights, external microphones and external storage devices that can be attached to the camcorder.
Camcorders with longer battery strength can also be recommended. Digital camcorders have life of the battery ranging from 4 to eight hours of continuous shooting. However, using the zoom or any external devices reduce the battery strength.
All cameras nowadays come bundled having a digital video editing software. But if you aren’t satisfied with the one provided, you could buy a better one on the internet and much more expensive editing software from Adobe or other reputable brand.
Video camera prices today vary from $500 to $4000, with Sony, JVC and Canon being the more popular brands.
