Top 5 Digital Camcorders
For most of you digital camcorders are gadgets of necessary want. Sometimes you are at a loss asking a question, “How to get the right digital camcorder?”
Keep in mind, a camcorder is a portable electronic device for recording video images and audio onto an internal storage device. You must be already forgot (if you were a witness) a video cassete camera. They were the earliest devices for recording information this way.
Nowadays you wanna get digital camcorders at hand and get on like a house on fire recording something that turns our interest on. Have a look at the following highly rated digital camcorders:
- Panasonic AG-HVX200. Three interrelated features differentiate the Panasonic AG-HVX200 from every other camcorder in its price class: its trio of 16:9 one-megapixel CCDs for recording 1080p HD to SD and everything in between, variable frame-rate shooting from 12fps to 60fps in 720p mode, and its ability to record on P2 flash media as well as tape. In color accuracy and subtlety, latitude (ability to handle contrast), and low-light performance, the Panasonic AG-HVX200 is the leader among the current crop of prosumer HD cameras, in part due to the aggressive compression required by its HDV competition. Average price: $5000.
- Canon XH G1. Advantages: excellent video quality, extremely customizable, great lens and optical stabilizer, fast focus. Canon’s XH A1 and XH G1 are excellent camcorders for entry-level professionals and independent filmmakers, with hard-to-beat prices for what they offer. Price: $5998-$6499.
- Canon XH A1 - camcorder - Mini DV (HDV). Canon’s XH A1 and XH G1 are excellent camcorders for entry-level professionals and independent filmmakers, with hard-to-beat prices for what they offer. At their aggressive prices, the Canon XH A1 and XH G1 look mighty attractive compared to their respective competitors in the indie filmmaker and entry-level studio markets. Price: $3194-$4088.
- Panasonic AG-DVX100B. The Panasonic AG-DVX100B retains all the features that made the original AG-DVX100 such a revolutionary camera. First on the list are the great progressive-video modes: 30p and two types of 24p, in addition to standard 60i (interlaced video). In almost every regard, the Panasonic AG-DVX100B performs identically to its capable predecessor. It has particularly responsive zoom and focus controls for a MiniDV camera. No other camera in this category offers a real mechanical zoom control or such precise mechanical focusing. Average price: $2500.
- Sony HDR-FX1. Sharp and vibrant three-chip HD images, native 16:9 capture,
ability to downconvert video for use with existing editing systems and displays are the pluses of the camcorder.
