Most camcorders only come with one CCD (charge coupled device), which is the image sensor for the camcorder. Some digital camcorders come with three CCDs, which increases the color and detail accuracy of the picture by recording the red, blue and green colors individually.

Memory Still Resolution
[?]
|
: |
0.31 MegaPixels |
|
Most camcorders can also afford the ability to capture digital still images, even though they typically do it at a much lesser resolution than digital cameras. Memory still resolution refers to the resolution of the still images captured by the camcorder. The higher the resolution the better will be the image.

Optical Zoom
[?]
|
: |
25.0 x |
|
The optical zoom ratio of a digital camera measures how much the lens can actually zoom in to make subjects appear closer. Be careful to not confuse optical zoom with digital zoom. Optical zoom actually enlarges a picture while keeping the resolution and sharpness of the picture high.

Recording Format
[?]
|
: |
DVD |
|
Each type indicates the method of recording, and the type of tape that the camcorder uses. Make sure the recording format of your camcorder is one that will play on the device you want to watch your recording on.

|
Sensor Pixels
[?]
|
: |
680.0 K pixels |
|
A CCD (charge coupled device) or CMOS (Complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) sensor, records images by breaking them down into pixels of information. The more pixels a CCD has, the greater detail the images will have.

|
Color Viewfinder
[?]

Display Type
[?]
|

|
Some camcorders include a small LCD screen that displays the image that is being recorded.

LCD Panel Size
[?]
|
: |
2.7 in. |
|
The LCD screen is measured diagonally in inches. A larger LCD panel is desirable for easier recording as well as better viewing when you play back your videos on the camera.

|
Digital Zoom
[?]
|
: |
1200.0 x |
|
Unlike optical zoom, digital zoom magnifies the pixels but not the actual image. The resulting image appears bigger, but is not as sharp as with an optical zoom.

Image Stabilizer
[?]
|
: |
Digital Image Stabilizer |
|
An image stabilizer removes most of the shakiness typically seen on handheld video cameras. This feature has also been called Electronic Image Stabilizer (EIS) or Steady Shot.

|
Low Lux
[?]
|
: |
0.3 Lux |
|
The minimum light requirements for recording are measured in lux. Lux ratings can range from .3 to 7. Low ratings, even on cameras with low lux requirements, will rarely produce a good picture. You should generally try to shoot in levels of 300 lux (daylight) for the best results.

Digital Still Shot Mode
[?]
|
: |
yes |
|
Many camcorders are capable of taking still pictures, much like a digital camera. These pictures can usually be stored directly on the camcorder's tape, but some newer model camcorders include a flash memory card for storing the still images separately.

MPEG Movie Mode
[?]
|
: |
no |
|
This feature allows many newer camcorders to capture video clips in a format that's easy to send via e-mail or post online. These clips are small in size and do not offer top-quality resolution.
