Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)


What Is the Difference Between a Camcorder and Video Camera?

While the terms are often used interchangeably today, camcorders have traditionally been video cameras that feature onboard storage units. Camcorders were often smaller and more portable than video cameras, and they typically could record video directly to a storage medium, such as tape or a memory card. Traditionally, video cameras sometimes required the use of an external recording device to save the captured footage.

What Is the Difference Between an HD and 4K Camcorder?

While 4K camcorders are also HD, these digital camcorders can capture video at a resolution of 4096 x 2160 pixels, which is four times the resolution of standard 1080p HD video. This means that 4K video is much sharper and more detailed than HD video. HD camcorders, on the other hand, are limited to a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, which is still considered high-definition but not as sharp as 4K video.

When Were Camcorders Invented?

The history of camcorders is murky, with people debating when the technology was actually invented. Sony released the first consumer camcorder in 1983, the Betamovie BMC-100P. The video camcorder left its mark as being the best home film camera to capture family videos. However, some credit the TV cameras from the late 1950s as being the first camcorder-like devices.

Can a Camcorder Take Pictures?

Yes! Most camcorders have a built-in photo mode, where the image sensor is able to capture still images. It's important to remember that the photo quality of a video camcorder vs. a digital camera is going to vary, as camcorders were made to primarily capture video footage.

Are Camcorders Obsolete?

While many cameras have been introduced with video capabilities and smartphones can record decent video quality for some applications, there is still a niche market for video camcorders. Some professional videographers and filmmakers still use camcorders, as they offer longer recording times, feature an optical zoom, and include inputs for audio. At Samy's, we offer a selection of popular professional video cameras and consumer-focused handheld camcorders for sale.

Is a Camcorder Better Than a DSLR or Mirrorless Camera for Video?

This can be a debate among videographers. Some professionals prefer to capture footage using mirrorless or DSLR cameras, as they offer the option of interchangeable lenses and better performance in low-light settings. DSLRs and mirrorless cameras are also more compact and portable than video camcorders. However, camcorders provide users with video settings, comfort while handling the camera, and a longer battery life than DSLRs or mirrorless cameras.

How to Keep Camera Steady for Video

When using a video camera, it's important to maintain proper stabilization, so that the video is not shaky. We offer camera accessories, like gimbals and tripods, that offer stability when using video cameras. It's also important to note that when handling a camcorder, you should hold it using both hands, and make sure you have a steady stance. Many modern video cameras offer built-in stabilization features that ensure smooth panning while filming.
