When it comes to capturing video, high definition is still a relatively new technology, and there is a minefield of confusing terms and poor standardisation surrounding the various types. The display resolution of hi-def video footage is either 1,280x720 pixels, or 1,920x1,080 pixels, which is higher than the standard definition resolutions on current television and DVD. The higher end of the pixel spectrum, at 1080 resolution, is generally recommended for gaming and HD-DVD or Blu-Ray disks and will mean that you’ll get the best picture possible. One of the biggest decisions to make when buying a modern camcorder is the recording format you want to use. One option is a built-in hard drive. Hard drives have the advantage of allowing in-camera editing functions, while also using far less battery power. Hard drives are useful when recording hi-def footage as they allow for a lot more storage than other options available such as DVDs. Hi-def video means that a greater number of pixels are packed into each frame and more data means bigger files. For this reason, a large amount of storage space is essential when filming in hi-def. The Sony Handycam HDR-SR8 boasts an enormous 100GB hard drive but it will set you back £1,000. However, for that price, you get excellent HD image quality in possibly the best consumer HD camcorder out there at the moment. There is also the HDR-SR7, this is slightly cheaper and is equally good. It also boasts a still very impressive 60GB hard drive.
Camcorders are great gadgets for capturing all of those moments and events that you want to remember forever and hd camcorders will ensure that your memorable moments are shot in the best quality possible. If you’re after a camcorder, the best thing to do is to shop online to make sure that you get the best offer available.
