Camcorders have progressed a long way since their conception. Originally intended for TV recording, the advances made in technology heralded the arrival of the portable camcorder. Using analogue tapes some early camcorders were unwieldy and offered disputable video quality. Today though, camcorders are compact, easy to use, and offer superb video and picture quality – particularly high definition camcorders.

Digital camcorders provide easy methods to edit your video, transferring data seamlessly to your PC or laptop. The most popular camcorders in the market today are MiniDV, DVD, and HDD (hard Disk Drive). All formats are available in many different models produced by brand name manufacturers like Canon, Panasonic, Samsung, and Flip Video who have produced the world’s smallest camcorder.
