Top 7 Digital Camcorders
JR Lang
asked:
Today there are many choices available when it comes to digital camcorders. The shelfs are full of brands and models each unique in their features and capabilities. Here is a list of the top digital camcorders.
Canon Vixia HF10: This is Canon's first flash memory media digital camcorder. It delivers excellent High Definition quality video and performance while remaining compact and user-friendly. Specifications: High Definition Digital Camcorder, 16 GB Internal Flash Drive, full 1920x1080 capture and recording High Definition Video, 12 x optical/200x digital zoom lens. Retail: $1099.00
Sony Handycam HDR-SR11: This 60GB Hard Drive based High Definition Video digital camcorder features superb image quality and top notch performance.
Specifications: 60GB Hard-Drive Digital Camcorder, full 1920x1080 capture and recording High Definition Video, 12 x optical zoom. Retail: $1199.00
CANON VIXIA HF100: Canon's second Flash Media digital camcorder, same small package and continues to deliver excellent High Definition video quality. With it's advanced Video Codec High Definition, the picture never fails to deliver a supreme high-def viewing experience.
Specifications: Digital Camcorder, Flash Card memory, full 1920x1080 capture and recording High Definition Video, 12 x high definition video zoom lens. Retail: $899.00
Canon DC230: A great budget model. While it has few frills, the long lens and good video quality makes the Canon DC230 stand above the rest of the other not so expensive DVD camcorders.
Specifications: DVD Digital Camcorder, 1.07 megapixels, 35 x optical zoom, DVD-R (8cm), DVD-RW (8 cm), DVD-R DL (8 cm). Retail: $449.00
Canon DC-50 Digital Camcorder: Nice and simple. Canon delivers a simple DVD camcorder that produces great video.
Specifications: DVD Digital Camcorder, 5.39 megapixels, 10 x optical zoom, DVD-R (8cm), DVD-RW (8 cm), DVD-R DL (8 cm). Retail: $799.00
JVC GR-D250: While JVC offers several types of digital camcorders the GR-D250 stands out due to a nice budget price and a big zoom range.
Specifications: MiniDV Digital Camcorder, 25 x optical zoom/800 x digital zoom. Retail: $279.00
Flip Ultra: You cannot write about top digital camcorders and not mention the Flip Ultra, the second and better version of the original Flip from Pure Digital. An innovation in video recording the Flip hit the market by storm and accounts for over 15% of all digital camcorder sales. Major manufacturers are all ready mimicking the Flip by coming out with similar versions. The Flip Ultra can definitely be dubbed as the "simplist" digital camcorder.
When it comes to specifications there are not many to mention. The screen is tiny (1.5 inches) and doesn't swing out for self-portraits. There are no settings, menu buttons, no light, no lens cap and no memory card. No optical zoom, only a 2 x digital zoom. No still shots. The entire unit is pocket size, has three buttons, play, stop and trash. No battery pack, works with AA batteries, (alkalines last about 2 hours and rechargeables about 5 hours).
No tapes or disks, all footage is downloaded via attached USB plug, which pops out at 90 degrees to the camera body, plug that into the computer and download the footage. Then you save it to your hard drive and burn to DVD and edit in most standard editing programs. You can also use a special cable to plug it into the TV and watch footage.
The entire filming process is, press the red button once to record and once to stop. Press play to review the video and then trash to delete scene. Thats it?
Yes that's it! It is the most simple of digital camcorders that fits anywhere and everywhere, and is light enough for a baby to hold. It's size allows it to go anywhere, and everywhere where a traditional camcorder may not, like a purse, beach bag, or pocket. It's rugged so you can take it skiing, to the playground, while playing a sport and virtually anywhere where you might need to shoot some clips. And if you get the acrylic accessory case (retails: $50) you can even take it UNDERWATER!
With all this simplicity, the Flip delivers an amazingly good picture quality. It has TV resolution, which yields, 640 x 480 pixels and 30 frames per second. The picture is surprisingly good, not as good as high definition or tape digital camcorders but for the price and simplicity the Flip definitely earns a spot on the top digital camcorders list. The most amazing feature is the Flip's low-light ability, which trumps even the most expensive of digital camcorders. The recorded dim scenes actually look brighter than they looked to the naked eye. Retail Price: $149.99 with max 60 minutes of footage.
Retail prices of digital camcorders can be steep. It is a big investment and an important fact to consider is that in a world with Internet where many sellers compete for your business significant savings are available by avoiding retail merchants and purchasing camcorders at discounted prices.

Cheap Digital Camcorders
Ross Bainbridge asked:
It is quite natural for everyone to want to be the proud owner of one of the best camcorders available, but not all of them can afford a top-of-the-line model with all its frills. We have to carefully assess our financial position and buy only the camcorders that do not burn a hole in our pockets.
However, if you have saved up for long and now feel prepared to have a go, there are some top quality camcorders that you can purchase for $1,000 or less!
The Panasonic Multicam PV-GS200 is one of the only 3 CCD camcorders in this budget range. Three CCDs, you must have known by now, means top picture quality. The Sony DCR-DVD300 uses DVD media. Normally their prices are sky-high, so you could be picking up a bargain in this case. The Canon Optura 40 has bagged numerous awards for being a great camcorder for under $800. Therefore, it deserves a close look. The Samsung SCD-103 is so user-friendly that even a technophobe will think of buying one. And if you are looking for a big LCD screen, the Sony DCR-H40 mini DV camcorder is there for you. Keep in mind that technology keeps changing all the time, and prices begin to fall, too. The important thing is to keep pace with the times, as many companies like JVC and Canon keep launching new ranges all the time.
If your desire is limited to recording the antics of your new baby, or if you want to purchase a cheap camcorder for your kids, there are many options. You can go for Samsung's SCD103, one of the lowest-priced digital camcorders, for $350.
With the advent of digital camcorders, old analog camcorders are being sold at dirt-cheap prices. Don’t succumb to the temptation. It will be foolhardy to shortchange yourself with an analog camcorder when you can acquire a great digital model for an extra hundred dollars.

Mini Digital Camcorder – New Mobile Revolution That Fits Nicely Into Your Pocket
Korbin Newlyn asked:
If you are having challenges trying to carry around your camcorder, and because of that, you end up losing out on me your more treasured moments everywhere you traveled; you no longer need to concern yourself with this. As of late, size reductions in different types of camcorders, or better known as mini Digital camcorder, has begun to enter into and is gradually taking over the market.
In the not too distant past, people were still utilizing camcorders that were up to 2 pounds, however nowadays, these newer types of camcorders weigh only as much as your mobile phone.
The Small Trendy Gadget
When looking at it in a different perspective, this new type of trend is really not so new after all. In reality it began with mobile phones. At one time mobile phones were as large as bricks, then as time progressed they became about half that size, and a little later they have turned into a device as small as a matchbox.
The camcorder manufacturers were taking notice of this trend and it inspired them to switch from large and bulky camcorders to the smaller ones that fit into a small pouch, and eventually into even smaller types that will fit into a small pencil case.
The most beneficial part of it all is that regardless of how small the mini Digital camcorder has become, the quality of the image has rarely if it all decreased, because of the introduction of superior compression technology which saves and stores the whole video into a smaller file size, but as an extremely high quality output.
Technological Innovation
This mini Digital camcorder can be equated to the miniature version of the hard drive camcorders in which you are able to record the raw video and it will be stored within the internal hard drive, which you can then transfer onto a different computer through FireWire or USB 2.0.
Video is then saved in the newer Mpeg-4 format. This format is the latest and best video compression format to save a raw video file in the smallest size while retaining highest quality of video output. Additionally, the mini Digital camcorder also has the capability of being one of the best digital still cameras, and the majority of them have an extremely high picture quality capturing ability utilizing Carl-Zeiss lens with a capacity of up to 8 megapixels. Even better, the newest version of mini Digital camcorder from manufacturers such as Creative have a web cam, an MP3 player, as well as a voice recorder integrated into it.
A mini Digital camcorder is much less expensive than conventional digital camcorders, due to the fact that this kind of camera is very high in demand and there is a very abundant market amongst teenagers, particularly those who prefer to travel and take snapshots or video of every beautiful moment in their daily lives.
They are available in many different colors that are popular amongst many people, and they simply fit conveniently in your palm. The captured videos also have the capability to be played directly on your television set to be shared with everyone.

Digital Camcorder Buying Tips
George Kissi asked:
If you're in the market for a digital camcorder, it's prudent that you're arm yourself with a few tips before you buy otherwise you might end up with some thing that does not suit your needs. Below are a few guide lines that will help you along the way.
Take a Look at the LCD screen in daylight, if at all possible
Certain screens will fade out in bright sunlight, and you need to ensure your ability to easily see what you're recording under any circumstances. If you're unable to view the images on the screen in bright daylight, resort to using the viewfinder. Not only will using the view finder get the job done but it will do so without using up a lot of your battery power.
Examine the lens's optical zoom ratio rather than the digital zoom ratio
With a digital zoom, the camcorder is merely making the image larger through the viewfinder as opposed to actually delivering a closer look. The optical zoom spec is more expedient in that respect and you'll want at least 10X optical zoom.
Buy an additional higher-capacity battery for longer recording times
The normal battery that comes with majority of camcorders usually only last an hour or so. For $50 to $100, you can purchase a longer-lasting battery, so consider that into your cost if you think you'll need it. There's nothing more frustrating than running out of power in the middle of recording an important event!
Microphones that are mounted in the front get better results
When the microphone is mounted on the top of the camcorder, it has the tendency to capture the voice of the person using the camcorder rather than the event being recorded. In this regard it's better to buy a camcorder with the microphone mounted in the front.
Buy an external microphone for the best sound
If the camcorder you're interested in buying has the ability to connect an external microphone, then factor in an extra $50 to $100 for an external microphone as this will give you the best sound possible .
Play and familiarize your self with the camcorders controls and features before you purchase
Occasionally the smallest camcorders can be difficult to use, particularly if you have large hands. A bigger model may work better for you if it is more comfortable to handle.
Examine exposure controls and Low-light options
All camcorders come with a completely automatic mode, but certain models have manual and semi-manual exposure modes. For eg, some models allow you to record at slower shutter speeds than others, or have aperture settings that permit more light to enter. Quite a few also offer scene modes, which you might be familiar with from digital still cameras. Low-light options also allow you to shoot in dark environments. Numerous camcorders come with an infrared light or a long shutter mode to assist in capturing images in the dark.
Look for wide-screen shooting and know your format:
If you own a high definition TV, you'll get a full picture with no black bars at the top and bottom if you record with a wide-screen model. Also it is important to know the format the camcorder records in. Majority of camcorders record onto mini-DVD discs or MiniDV tapes. Bear in mind that MiniDV is the most widely available format which is a major boost if you find yourself short on tape while on vacation mainly because Mini-DVD discs are ofttimes difficult to come by.

If you're in the market for a digital camcorder, it's prudent that you're arm yourself with a few tips before you buy otherwise you might end up with some thing that does not suit your needs. Below are a few guide lines that will help you along the way.
Take a Look at the LCD screen in daylight, if at all possible
Certain screens will fade out in bright sunlight, and you need to ensure your ability to easily see what you're recording under any circumstances. If you're unable to view the images on the screen in bright daylight, resort to using the viewfinder. Not only will using the view finder get the job done but it will do so without using up a lot of your battery power.
Examine the lens's optical zoom ratio rather than the digital zoom ratio
With a digital zoom, the camcorder is merely making the image larger through the viewfinder as opposed to actually delivering a closer look. The optical zoom spec is more expedient in that respect and you'll want at least 10X optical zoom.
Buy an additional higher-capacity battery for longer recording times
The normal battery that comes with majority of camcorders usually only last an hour or so. For $50 to $100, you can purchase a longer-lasting battery, so consider that into your cost if you think you'll need it. There's nothing more frustrating than running out of power in the middle of recording an important event!
Microphones that are mounted in the front get better results
When the microphone is mounted on the top of the camcorder, it has the tendency to capture the voice of the person using the camcorder rather than the event being recorded. In this regard it's better to buy a camcorder with the microphone mounted in the front.
Buy an external microphone for the best sound
If the camcorder you're interested in buying has the ability to connect an external microphone, then factor in an extra $50 to $100 for an external microphone as this will give you the best sound possible .
Play and familiarize your self with the camcorders controls and features before you purchase
Occasionally the smallest camcorders can be difficult to use, particularly if you have large hands. A bigger model may work better for you if it is more comfortable to handle.
Examine exposure controls and Low-light options
All camcorders come with a completely automatic mode, but certain models have manual and semi-manual exposure modes. For eg, some models allow you to record at slower shutter speeds than others, or have aperture settings that permit more light to enter. Quite a few also offer scene modes, which you might be familiar with from digital still cameras. Low-light options also allow you to shoot in dark environments. Numerous camcorders come with an infrared light or a long shutter mode to assist in capturing images in the dark.

If you own a high definition TV, you'll get a full picture with no black bars at the top and bottom if you record with a wide-screen model. Also it is important to know the format the camcorder records in. Majority of camcorders record onto mini-DVD discs or MiniDV tapes.

Eye of the Digital Camcorder
Ray Nwambuonwo asked:
Anytime we use an invention, we typically think of the instrument as one unit. The best example is when we buy computer, washing machine or a car, we do not consider the various components, whether large or small, which comprise the machine. Generally we use the machine while it functions properly, and when it stops to do that, we usually contact a repair person.
Nevertheless, learning about how various devices operate, including the digital camcorder can be beneficial. This will permit us to better understand required repairs, and can even improve our own operation of the device.
While several various components result in a digital camcorder's operation, the lens remains one of the most significant ones. Just think of the lens of the digital camcorder as its eye and without this "eye," the machine could not record any images.
To begin with, adjusting the camcorder's lens will allow it to record a crisp picture. Focusing the lens requires moving it so it correctly shoots the light beams originating from the object being shot, onto the change-coupled device. The device is an instrument used to sense images. This role resembles the ability of some film cameras to shift the lens forward and backward, in order to focus the light.
Another element found in the digital camcorder that resembles some film cameras it the auto focus feature. Typically, it consists of an infrared light beam, which the human eye cannot see. How well does it work? Usually the beam reflects off the item in the middle of the frame and then returns to a sensor located on the digital camcorder.
The auto focus component typically functions adequately. Although in special situations, you may want to switch to manual focusing. This includes the instances when your target is to focus on an item located in the frame's side, rather than in its center.
Ridiculously like a film camera in yet another way, a digital camcorder also contains a zoom lens. An optical zoom consists of one lens piece that lets you to switch from a specific magnification, to a greater one. The vast majority of camcorders include a motor that is attached to the device. This motor allows one to switch control on the handle, to change the zoom. Accordingly, zooming becomes simpler to conduct, and smoother.
A digital camcorder can also contain a digital zoom. Instead of involving the lens of the camera, this device zooms in on a portion of the total image that the change-coupled device trapped, enlarging the pixels. A pixel is the smallest region on an electronic screen, which can include a particular color.
While a digital camera includes numerous parts, the lens is one of the most notable ones. Without the lens, it would be blind. Use these tips to make dealing with a digital camcorder a lot easier.
