In the last few years, the video camera market has risen by leaps and bounds, with each year bringing more capabilities and diversity. This is a nice thing, but sitting and sifting through page after page of features when you have no idea what they imply becomes a nuisance.
Do you want the best video camera money can buy? We've looked at the greatest alternatives for videographers in 2022, from little vlogging cameras to expensive filmmaking flagships. Our shopping guide will help you select the best video camera for you, whether you're looking for a cinematic upgrade or making your first foray into videography.Â
1. ZOOM
Video cameras that are less expensive have either too little (5x) or too much zoom (greater than 25x). Greater zoom capabilities aren't always beneficial, as long telephoto lenses are difficult to use even with adequate image stabilization, resulting in poor image quality.
Always use optical zoom instead of digital zoom since digital zoom reduces video quality.
The lens should have a f2 or smaller maximum aperture and a maximum equivalent focal length of 39mm. To capture more of the scene in the frame, look for a lens with a shorter focal length and a broader viewing angle.
2. IMAGE STABILIZATION (IS)
It corrects for unintentional camera movement. Although optical image stabilization is preferable, digital image stabilization may be a better alternative if you are shooting on the move. To compensate for shooting while walking, updated IS systems with names like hybrid or dynamic have been released.
3. SENSOR
For optimal performance, the sensor resolution must be at least twice that of the video standard. That instance, a 720p camcorder's sensor resolution should be at least 1.8 megapixels, and a 1080i/p camcorder's sensor resolution should be at least 4 megapixels (the same goes for each chip in the 3-chip model). Higher resolutions are unlikely to enhance video quality, although they may help with still photos. When it comes to sensor types, CMOS sensors are used by the vast majority of camcorders. BSI (backside illuminated) technology is the most current breakthrough in CMOS, and it offers greater performance in low-light situations.Â
4. STORAGE
All later versions rely only on flash memory for storage. Only a few models come with hard disk, disc, or tape drive choices. Most manufacturers provide the same camcorder with built-in flash memory and an SD card port, or with merely an SD card slot. When shooting HD video, only class 6 or above is suggested.
5. ILLUMINATION AT THE BASIC LEVEL
This is a test of the camcorder's low-light performance. Usually for consumer versions, it averages around 5-7 lux. Lower light claims typically imply the use of unusual shooting modes like as infrared or slow shutter.
6. USER INTERFACE
Although we are seeing touchscreens in an increasing number of camcorders, this does not indicate that they are all fully functional. Before purchasing the product, take a look at the menu section and the shooting settings.
