Capture Precious Moments Of Life With A Video Camera

A camcorder is defined as a portable electronic device that is used for recording audio and video with the help of a built-in recorder unit

. Camcorders are made up of three main components which are the lens, imager, and the recorder.

The lens is used to collect the light and focus it on the imager. The imager in turn converts this light incident on it into an electrical signal. The final step includes encoding the video signal into a storable form which is performed by the recorder.

Earlier the camcorders used to be of analog types which used the technique of analog recording to capture the audio and video images. Today, with the advancement in technology, these gadgets are now much more sophisticated and technologically superior to the ones available in earlier days. Today, there are technologically advanced digital camcorders are available that record videos on flash memory devices, micro drives, hard disks or DVD-Rs using MPEG-1, MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 formats.

Most of these digital camcorders allow the user to zoom in or zoom out to change the perspective of the image. There are video cameras that are available with digital zoom and optical zoom facilities. Both perform different functions and one should be very clear about the working and functioning of both before making the purchase. Digital zoom is not really a zoom. An optical zoom actually allows the user to change the field of view of the image. This allows the photographer to widen out the lens for a landscape shot, or zoom in to shoot a portrait. Many professional digital camcorders come with a combination of optical and digital zooms.

Today's video cameras are available in very affordable price range which makes them available to a wide range of consumers. They are also available in various styles such as typical video camera shaped to small flip camcorders and handy digi-cams. The most popular video cameras today are the flip, pocket, flip ultra pocket, DVD and HD camcorders.

Today, it is next to impossible to imagine electronic media or any TV productions without these digital video cameras. They have become a part of our lives that not only create masterpieces for televisions but capture the joyous and memorable moments of our lives. These are perhaps the most popular and widely loved electronic devices in the world that allow you to take memories of the present and capture them to cherish forever.
