A camcorder is a device that combines a video camera with a video recorder. By strict definition, it is a portable device with video capturing and recording as its primary function. This will differentiate it from other devices that are capable of recording video such as cell phones and digital cameras. Tape used to be the primary recording media but that is now being replaced with the flash memory. Some camcorders are able to use more than one type of media.

There is a host of HD camcorders in the market today. The Sony HD camcorder comes in a range of products with various features. The ultra compact HDR-CX110 features an “Exmor R” CMOS sensor for superior low-light performance, and a Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® 25x optical zoom lens that brings you closer to the action. Plus, the 2.7″ touch panel display rotates 270 degrees for multiple viewing angles. With a Sony HD camcorder you can preserve precious moments in HD clarity.
