Digital-camcorder or Analogue – is their any comparison?

                                                                                         

People have been getting along just fine for years with old-fashioned analogue camcorders. Why are digital ones any better? There are lots and lots of reasons.

First of all, if you’ve ever seen a video made on an analogue camcorder, you’ll know just how low the quality is. It’s grainy, with nasty textual watermarks and bad sound. Digital camcorders, on the other hand, use digital recording techniques to give you higher resolution, which means higher picture quality – even the worst digital camcorder has picture quality dramatically better than a TV is even capable of displaying.

Digital camcorders are also easier to carry. The digital media they record onto is smaller, lighter and has a higher capacity, meaning that the unit doesn’t have to be designed around bulky tapes. Digital camcorders’ designs are much smaller and sleeker than anything that has gone before.

Some people think you have to have a computer to use a digital camcorder, but that’s not actually true. What is true, however, is that it’s so much easier to transfer any videos you make to your computer for further editing or posting on the web. All you need to do is plug in a cable, click a few buttons and you’re done – in fact, if your camcorder has a Bluetooth wireless connection, you don’t even need to plug in the cable!

The final factor in favour of digital camcorders is an interesting one, and one that many people don’t realise. It’s impossible to use an analogue camcorder as a normal stills camera, because of the completely different kinds of film. With a digital camcorder, however, it’s dead easy to also use it as a digital camera, and store stills and video right alongside each other. When you consider the amount of money you save by not having to buy both a camera and a camcorder, it makes digital camcorders look like an even better deal than ever.
