subject: All About Digital Video Camcorders [print this page] A digital video camcorder is a combined device that includes both a camera and a recorder. Lots of users cannot make the difference between a camcorder and other types of cameras. A digital video camcorder has recording and portability as main features. Compare these with cell phones that have incorporated digital cameras and things get clear.
As compared to tape-based camcorders, a digital video camcorder does not use magnetic tape to record and store data. The memory disk or card can be accessed quickly and it allows for the storage of a very large amount of data. The quality of the filmed material is excellent for digital video recording: there is no color bleeding, fading or jittering. Such problems appear only if there is a blur in the background. It is in such exceptional cases that the analog camera could render more details for the texture of the background than the digital camcorder.
The average user can operate the digital video camcorder without any difficulty. And everybody wants to get the maximum of features for as low a cost as possible; the preference goes towards the automatic designs. Producers do indeed offer a wide range of electronics to choose from, some come with very subtle modifications of sensor-sensitivity, others drastically reduce the background noise and the list of features could continue.
A digital video recorder is affordable for an average budget without any problem whatsoever. We find more emphasis on controls and shooting capabilities at the other end of the consumer market with professional operators. Among professional features we can mention progressive-scan frame rates, highly sensitive lenses or increased external audio input. An average digital video camcorder does not stand a comparison with professional equipment.
More reviews in digital video camcorder categories appear every day as the market progresses. You may sometimes not be able to tell which model is the right one for you, and therefore you may have to research well before making a decision concerning the right model for you. Check features, have a look on ratings and see what other people have to say.
