Are you thinking of getting a new camcorder? The choice can be confusing. This website is here to help you make an informed choice and seek out all the best deals. A few things to look for in a new camcorder are:

1. Format – avoid analogue and go for Digital. DV and MiniDV which are digital tape formats give the best quality. MP4 will record video onto a memory card and hard disk. DVD camcorders record directly to a dvd you can use in most dvd players.

2. Zoom – the choice is between Optical zoom (the best), most camcorders have between 10x and 20x zoom…and Digital zoom which can significantly reduce picture quality.

3. Digital Stills – if you want to take still pictures most camcorders have this ability but you will lose on the quality of the pictures. Best to stick to camcorders for video and digicams for stills.
