Good Camcorders Are Quite A Bit Cheaper Than You May Presume

By Fred Davies


If you think it may be time to replace your old SD camcorder, or even your Super-8, now could possibly be the best time to purchase one. There are some great camcorders on the market right now, and prices seem lower all the time, so if you want to improve the quality of your home videos or vacation movies, it may be time to start looking.

A few years ago it could cost an arm and a leg to get a High Definition camcorder, with the HD models normally only in the hands of video professionals around the world. But as more and more companies began to release HD cameras, the competition lead to prices decreasing drastically.

While at the start of the century one might have had to pay thousands of dollars for an HD model, now it is only a few hundred. Depending on whether you want a well known name or a lesser known one, the prices can range from very cheap to reasonable. These cameras come loaded with great features too, many may surprise you with how much they can do.

Other advances in technologies in other areas of electronics have also being integrated in many, and things like touch-screen technology are now commonplace. This actually makes quite a difference, because it means easier access to effect settings, and helps you get the most out of your camcorder.

Many users hardly ever fiddle with the settings of a camera, perhaps only changing the date, or making minor changes. But now it easier than ever to adjust things like manual focus, light, zoom levels, white balance and sound making your home movies come out better than ever.

If you are upgrading from a Standard Definition you are going to see a major improvement in quality, even if your old camera cost you a fortune. The jump in quality to 1080 High Definition is huge, and best of all the camcorders record directly an SD card rather than a tape, meaning no loss of quality. Damaged tapes, or dirty heads often lead to horrible digital artifacts, those little black flashes in the picture.

Not only does it mean no loss of quality, it also means if you want to edit your footage on your computer, you need longer have to spend hours capturing all the tapes. Now you can just transfer the files via a USB cable, like you were copying files off an external hard drive.

The other feature that almost all of these camcorders feature is the ability to take really good photographs, with the average camera offering stills at around 5 MegaPixels. You do not need to break the bank for a good home camcorder anymore so if you want to capture some magic moments, get out and get one now.
