Welcome to the HDD Digital Camcorders page, an HDD camcorder has an internal
Hard Disc Drive (HDD) which the recordings are directly recorded onto. HDD
digital camcorders are not as large as DVD camcorders but offer the same
quality and features and you also do not have to worry about any blank media
which will save money over time.
The important aspect of an HDD digital camcorder is the size of the hard disc
drive. This is measured in Gigabytes (GB) and the more the HDD digital camcorder
has the more recordings you will be able to store so always buy the HDD digital
camcorder with the largest HDD that you can afford. The amount of recording that
you can store is also affected by the quality of the recording as the higher
the quality the more HDD space is required so you can save space by filming in
a slightly lower quality. As a rough guide a 30GB HDD digital camcorder will
provide around 36 hours of recording time although this will vary depending on
your settings.
The recordings that you make on a HDD digital camcorder are easily transferred
to your computer so that you can edit or share them, once on your computer you
can copy them onto a DVD or you can simply play them on your computer. You can
also easily connect the HDD digital camcorder to your television and play the
video directly from the HDD digital camcorder.
When you buy a HDD digital camcorder there are several features to look for such
as an LCD screen as with an LCD screen you can view your recordings easily and
also film by watching the LCD screen. Also be sure to check the zoom levels as
the optical zoom is allot better than the digital zoom, the digital zoom may
be much larger but the quality is not as good so it is wise to buy a HDD digital
camcorder with a high optical zoom.
