Recording Your Memories Using Digital Camcorders

Recording Your Memories Using Digital Camcorders

There has been a lot of pressure on the market for digital camcorders recently. You won’t be taken seriously anymore if you are using home video quality cameras to shoot your masterpiece movie. The real pros do their audio and video separately or use the most expensive cameras imaginable with crazy green screen technology and all kinds of other things that you’ve probably never heard of. You really need to have a budget of millions and millions of dollars to come up with something that the general populace will want to see. And even if you do come across this kind of cash it still might get bad reviews. Because of this people have been a little skeptical of what using digital camcorders can really do for them anymore.

 

Well, I have some bad news; you are not going to be the next Blair Witch Project. Things like that will only work once. The beauty of that movie was that even though it was shot using only digital camcorders on a budget of less than ten thousand dollars, the acting was so good, and the story was so cleverly crafted that it would not have made sense to record using any other medium. Because the story fit that way, it made it seem silly to use anything else.

 

You will not be able to duplicate this because honestly, everyone else is trying to do it. Once a new and innovative thing comes out, a million different things come out after it that attempt to copy it and capitalize on its success and for the most part the general public can see right through a ploy to take their money from them and will not fall for something like that easily.

 

So if you can’t make blockbuster movies with the thing, then what can you do with digital camcorders? Well the answer is simple; you use them to record family movies. You may not like the idea of home videos for some odd reason but if you own a camera, then you need to own a video camera as well, otherwise it is just hypocritical. Why wouldn’t you want to have your memories preserved in several different mediums? Also, if you have kids this is especially important. You might feel like you are going overboard as a

Digital camcorders bring true freedom to recording home movies

Digital camcorders bring true freedom to recording home movies
Cameras which record moving pictures have traditionally been much larger and therefore less portable than their still-frame counterparts.

All that has changed, however, with the massive advances in digital media which have taken place in the last few years.

And it's the size of the media on which the moving images are recorded which has made such tremendous advances possible.

Initially, video recorders took a full-size video cassette, and this in itself meant that the cameras could not go below a certain size. Then, the micro-video cassette was devised, which could be placed inside a full-size video outer case for the purpose of playing back the content on a VCR.

Now, though, it's the advent of compact photographic and video memory cards which has enabled this mini-revolution to reach its ultimate stage. Offering the capability to store large amounts of video - and still images - on a card no bigger than a thumbnail, these recording media have enabled camcorders to be vastly reduced in size in turn.

Just like their still counterparts, digital camcorders also usually come with a zoom lens, allowing the photographer to get really close to the action, or zoom out for a wide, more panoramic view.

Tiny sensors inside the camcorder usually take care of adjusting the focusing. These ultra-precise devices detect where the main body of a picture is located, and adjust the focus accordingly.

Zoom lenses fitted in many camcorders offer truly awe-inspiring capabilities to get as close as possible to the action. Because of these massive zoom ratios, manufacturers have taken to incorporating image stabilisation software in the innards of their camcorders. This acts by altering the path to the camera's sensor which breaks down an image into the millions of pixels which constitute a digital picture. The technology is especially useful in minimising the effect of movement of the hands when operating a digital camcorder, as these rarely move along the same trajectory as the photographer's eyes when they are following, and recording, a moving image.

Important accessories to consider when buying a modern, compact camcorder include a spare memory card. The price of digital memory has dropped sharply in recent years, and this, along with the availability of standard SD format cards with ever greater capacity, means that the cost of building a substantial home video library is lower than ever.

And finally, if a digital camcorder is to be used to its maximum potential, a sturdy but lightweight protective case is a must.

Whether you choose to capture your digital movies using a camcorder, or a good quality digital compact camera, there is a huge choice available, with plenty of information to help anyone make the right choice displayed online.
