Buying
a Camcoder online - some good features to look out for:
Autofocus is an essential feature for any camcorder, and is standard
on most. This feature means you don't have to worry about focusing, and
can turn your attention to capturing the action instead.
Autoexposure senses light conditions and adjusts automatically
to get the best possible picture. In some situations you may want to override
this setting, like in extremely backlit conditions. Most modern camcorders
will rarely need to have the autoexposure overridden as they have excellent
low-light recording ability.
Colour viewfinders will enhance your recording because you get
a better idea of the image you'll actually end up seeing on screen.
Flip-out LCD screens are also featured on most camcorders, and
give you a clear image to work with during recording or playback. Larger
LCDs let you shoot for longer periods without eyestrain.
Electronic or optical picture stabilization is an essential feature.
Stabilization technology is designed to keep your picture as shake-free
as possible. This especially useful for smaller cameras that can be harder
to hold still.
DVD camcorders are a newer technology that uses a re-recordable
8cm DVD disc to record footage, which can be played directly on your DVD
player when you want to check out your videos.
