Camcorders
built 816 days ago
Camcorders have found use in nearly all corners of electronic media, from electronic news organizations to TV/current-affairs productions. In locations away from a distribution infrastructure, camcorders are invaluable for initial video acquisition. Subsequently, the video is transmitted electronically to a studio/production center for broadcast. Scheduled events such as official press conferences, where a video infrastructure is readily available or can be feasibly deployed in advance, are still covered by studio-type video cameras (tethered to "production trucks.")

Camcorders capture life's memories and should be thought of as an investment when shopping for one. With the advent of technology, digital camcorders and DVD camcorders now permit you to interact with your computer and share your memories with others. Learn the camcorders basics.

VHS-C (1982): Originally designed for portable VCRs, this standard was later adapted for use in compact consumer camcorders; identical in quality to VHS; plays in standard home VCRs. Still available in the low-end consumer market (JVC model GR-AXM18 is VHS-C; see page 19 of the owner's manual}.

Many camcorders come equipped with LCD viewscreens, which give you a great view of what you're shooting. However, viewscreens can be hard to see in bright sunlight, and they can drain the camcorder battery quickly. The larger the viewscreen is, the more battery power it'll suck up, so look for one around 2.5 inches. A touch viewscreen lets you spot focus and navigate menus right from the LCD screen.
