There are so many camcorders on the market, with plenty of confusing acronyms and abbreviations to describe features you don't know if you need. Prepare your self before going shopping by identifying your requirements and then go about finding the best camcorder that closes matches your needs.

Some of us prefer to purchase camcorders based on technical features, and most importantly camcorders with well designed and easy to use functions. So the basic question is whether you prefer an analog or digital camcorder.

There are times when the need for a quality camcorder is sudden or impulsive. Under these circumstances you had no quality time to investigate the kind of camcorder to fit your desires. If you have to buy a camcorder under rushed conditions always look for easy to use features and conveniently placed controls, and ask your self the question, do I want to send video or photos by e-mail?

Probably the most influential factor in choosing a camcorder is price. As price is a relative factor, check your budget to see where each price range fits. See if camcorders within the chosen price range have worthy features. Sometimes spending just a little more can get you more bang for the buck. If your camcorder purchase is based on buying when you have available cash, then your decision will be influenced by your current budget. If there is no rush, investigate the camcorder that best fits your needs and methodically save toward your objective.

Digital camcorders use a variety of other formats, which can affect size and operation of the camcorder. The DVD camcorders produce digital audio and video output in high definition. Some models even allow for recording to memory stick as an option. Other convenient features such as PictBridge allow you to print directly to compatible printers. DVD formatted camcorders weigh about 3 lbs and prices can range from about $140 - $1,000.

The mini-DVD format was designed to reduce the bulky size of the DVD formats, just as the VHS-C format was designed to reduce the size of the standard VHS formats. The mini-DVD format is a digital camcorder with high definition capabilities. Recording can be done in wide screen to accommodate viewing on modern television sets, and your movies and still shots can be transferred to your computer for sharing. Prices can range from under $100 to over $3,000. A wide range of features and conveniences come with such a wide price range.
