What to Look Out for When Buying a Digital Camcorder
The camcorder has been around for years but only over recent years has the digital camcorder entered the market and provided consumers with exciting new opportunities when it comes to recording special events and occasions. Whether you are a professional videographer or a grandparent who wants to have a digital camcorder on hand for when the grandchildren come to visit, there are some things that you should look out for when preparing to buy a new one. Finding a camcorder buying guide is not difficult when you have access to the Internet but likewise there some warning signs that you should be aware of before plunking down your funds on a digital camcorder.
Beware of Online Baiting – Many people turn to the Internet not only to seek out camcorder buying guide resources but to actually make their purchases. Whether you’re looking for a Canon, Creative Labs, Flip, Sanyo, Sony or other brand name, there are companies who will show you one type of digital camcorder but try to get you to purchase a whole lot of other things you don’t want or need. This type of upselling can be a detriment to your budget but also can require you to purchase beyond your desire.
Invest in a Tripod – This is a tool that will significantly improve the quality of your video recording from the possibility of capturing the best shots without having to hold the camcorder to setting up in locations where there is no standing room. As a rule of thumb, your tripod should be able to shoot from no less than 72 inches high so that you avoid capturing things like the backs of heads in an auditorium.
Leave Digital Stills to Digital Cameras – You may be thinking that getting both features in a digital camcorder like the camcorders on Zwee is the best bet but in actuality digital cameras perform digital stills at a far more superior level than digital camcorders. A best case scenario for those who are determined to have both features is to go with the camera instead of the camcorder. Digital camcorders are best at recording video.
Take a Recording – Ask to accompany the salesperson into the outside light and make a brief recording to test the LCD brightness. An LCD screen that is hard to see in the sun will be difficult to use. There are sun shade products that can be purchased if you have fallen in love with a particular digital camcorder that doesn’t have the best LCD screen for sunlight and outdoor light settings.
Forget about Digital Zoom – What digital zoom really means is that you are achieving an effect that is the equivalent of getting a preview of blowing up your digital image. There is no better quality associated with digital zoom when it comes to the finished product. Therefore, when you are checking out a camcorder buying guide, don’t let the digital zoom be your deciding factor or consider purchasing a more expensive digital camcorder just to get the digital zoom.
Get a Good Fit – Whether you are purchasing for yourself or someone else, you want to ensure that your digital camcorder purchase fits the person. If it is for an elderly person, can they hold the camcorder steady while recording? Are the buttons located conveniently for the user to access during filming? Does the camcorder fit easily into a pocket or purse or is it large enough to require a separate case or travel bag? Determining the answers to questions like these ensures that you won’t be back in the returns and exchanges line after your purchase.
