Cheap Camcorders
By Max Bellamy
There are various formats of camcorders available in the market. The main ones are DV CAM, DV PRO and Mini DV. Out of these, DV CAM and DV PRO are in analogue formats while Mini DV is in digital format; it records video and sound on the tape digitally.
The Mini DV was made keeping in mind both the amateur and the serious enthusiast.
Mini DV camcorders are hence the cheapest camcorders on the market.
What is however surprising is that it is also perhaps the best of the three formats, for a variety of reasons, the most important being that it is digital. What this means is that there is no noise introduced to the media. Additionally, since the recording is digital, the quality does not decrease over time. Also, copies of an original, keeping specified standards in mind, do no show a loss in quality like it does in analogue media. The digital format also shows a higher horizontal resolution than other consumer grade analogue camcorders.
Almost every format today, be it for sound, pictures or video, is digital. Thus having a digital format allows one the flexibility to convert, transfer, copy and store the media in a way that one wants. Hence, for most uses Mini DV camcorders are the cheapest and the best option.
There are many companies that make such cheap camcorders. Some companies that instantly come to mind are Sony, Panasonic and JVC. Sony was among the first to mass-market cheap camcorders; it still enjoys the lead position in the camcorder market today.
Among all the models of Sony Mini DV format, the Sony DCR-TRV17 is the cheapest. Sony also makes cheaper Digital 8 model of camcorders but Mini DV is the format that holds the most video. It is a compact and universal format.
While going in for a cheap camcorder, one needs to choose a format that is popular. From this point of view, it may be said that Mini DV has become an industry standard and is indisputably the most commonly used format for digital video. It is hence a good buy for anyone wanting a cheap camcorder.
