A 3CCD camcorder uses three sensors in place of a single sensor to more exactly capture and present the original colours. In general, the resolution of images and video from 3CCD camcorders is superior to the average single-chip devices. With more optical elements, the best 3CCD camcorders are therefore priced higher.

Look for a video camcorder that offers superior image quality and is easy to handle. Look deeper for such features as wide-angle lens, good selection of manual controls, effective image stabiliser, good zoom range, good audio recording features, enough storage and even 3D filming. Some of the top-rated 3CCD camcorders use progressive method for recording video, which experts certify as a better method than the more common interlaced method.


The best 3CCD camcorders are often the professional video camcorders at price range of around $3000-$5000. Due to better optics these are great options for independent filmmaking and low light photography. Most come with Hard disk drive storage and big LCD panels for easy handling.
