Recording Media

LCD Screen Size Digital camcorders have a miniature LCD monitor on the back to preview footage that you are shooting. You can also playback the footage later on the screen. LCD Screen Size is the length of that monitor measured diagonally.

Video Resolution This identifies the different types of video capture resolution that the camcorder can generate.

Interface Type

Green Compliance

Image Stabilization There are two types of image stabilization: optical and digital. An optical stabilizer uses gyrometers to detect camera motion. The gyrometer signals are used to electrically position a movable lens assembly so that the image projected onto the CCDs stays centered. Digital stabilization pixel shifts the image frames to create a more stable video image, it also degrades the video quality somewhat.

Image Processor

Image Sensor Size

Image Sensor Quantity Usually either 1 or 3, higher end camcorders have 3 sensor chips. 1CCD camcorders capture images by capturing one of the three RGB color values and interpreting the other two. 3CCD cameras capture image data by having 3 seperate chips for each RGB color, resulting in more accurate color information.

Image Sensor An image sensor records the brightness on each photosite when the shutter is open, it is stored as a set of numbers that can then be used to set the color and brightness of dots on the screen or ink on the printed page to reconstruct the image. There are two main types of image sensors CCD (charge-coupled device) and CMOS (complimentary metal-oxide semiconductor). CMOS are generally cheaper to produce and consume less power, but are also less sensative than CCD. However both produce roughly the same quality image.

Lens Features

Focal Length

Filter Diameter The size of a filter that fits the filter threads on the end of the lens.

Digital Zoom

Optical Zoom This number tells you how much larger the camcorder can make its subject appear simply through a slide of the lens. In other words, a camcorder with 3X Optical Zoom can make a subject appear 3 times larger in the frame. Optical zoom is generally preferred to digital zoom, since it can magnify an image without losing picture quality.

Video Recording

Minimum Lux Rating Lux is a measure of light intensity. A camera lux rating refers to the minimum amount of light that will produce pictures. The lower the number the better the picture the camcorder will produce in low light environments.
