How to Buy a Camcorder
Buying a camcorder isn't as straightforward as it once was. The vast array of resolutions, storage formats, and body configurations make it difficult to discern which one is best suited for your particular situation. It's easy to get caught up in the specifications and numbers presented by retailers and manufacturers, using them to rank camcorders as "better" or "worse" without considering how they'd actually be used in your life. This short guide will walk you through the tangle of information and help you discover the right camcorder for you.
