Digital Camcorders Which
A question about digital camcorders for someone who is technologically ignorant?
I want to be able to tape my daughter and send my parents a VHS tape. Can I do this with a digital camcorder or do I need to buy an analog camcorder? Which ones are the best for this?
The difference between a “digital” and an “analog” camcorder refers to how the “picture” is stored in memory.
Analog recordings are a series of electronic “pulses”, while digital recordings take the sound and picture and turn them into a complex series of “ones” and “zeroes”. For reasons that are too complicated to be explained here, the digital format is more precise and can be preserved and later recreated on screen more accurately.
The answer you’re looking for is that either would be a perfectly fine camcorder for the purpose you describe. Digital camcorders represent a newer technology, and you’ll probably find those cameras more expensive. If you’re just looking to capture pictures of your daughter to send to your parents, the quality of even the cheapest option at your local electronics store will probably be satisfactory, so there’s no reason to spend a lot of money.
I hope this helped – good luck!
