Enjoy making home movies? A digital
video camera (digital camcorder) makes the shooting easy and fun.
So how do digital camcorders work?
The main difference between models is how they store your video - on low-cost cassettes called Mini-DV, 8cm DVDs that work in most DVD players, or internal hard disk drives. Resolution (megapixels) is less important in digital camcorders, since they're designed to match existing TV and video.
Differences between digital camcorders: MiniDV, DVD, or HDD?
High-Definition (HD) TV gives a crisper, clearer picture...
and some digital camcorders can record in this format, so your movies will
be future-proof. Of course, camcorders record sound too - look out for
surround sound and Dolby
if you want a great soundtrack to your movie.
