Looking to buy a digital camcorder? You may want to have a look at DVD digital camcorders. These days there are many different types of camcorders available in the market; camcorders that use either DV tapes, hard disk, DVDs and so on as the storage media.
So why should you buy a DVD Camcorder? Because of the simple reason that a DVD camcorder records video on DVD discs, rather than DV tapes. A DVD camcorder is basically different from a regular digital video camera in the way it saves the recorded video.
Lot of people actually feel comfortable with a DVD than a DV tape simply because they can identify with DVD based electronic items! Almost all of us have a DVD player at home and each of us have seen a DVD disc. Besides, DVD discs are easier to handle than tapes, unlikely to get chewed up in the camera.
Besides, you can straight away play the recorded video on your DVD player since the video is recorded on a DVD. In some of the DVD camcorders, you can even perform basic editing functions on the camcorder itself, in case you do not want to do a full fledged editing on your computer.
Also, you can access the recorded video clips via a menu system, similar to what you do on a digital stills camera. You can even use the various menu functions to process the video clips.
As you can see, DVD camcorders seem to be getting more and more popular because of its ease of use and because it looks technically less daunting to use. For that reason, DVD camcorders will continue to be attractive to many first time users.
