Camcorders have transformed the world of home-movies in innumerable ways. All of them good. Gone are the days of having to squeeze onto the couch to peer at short, grainy films on an ugly white screen in the dark. Today’s cameras are lighter and smaller, yet deliver hours of video and stereo sound – both in remarkable clarity.
And now we can add all the perks of HD.
Hi-Def’s broader colors and better image compression produce a improvement in video quality that’s staringly obvious to even the most casual viewer. Prices are high, but as HD and the newer hard-drive-based models grow in demand the numbers will drop to more sensible levels. At which point, you can expect the camcorder to be as common a sight as that other ‘techie’ addiction – MP3’s.
So the question is, are you ready for your close-up?
