Although this category is shrinking rapidly now that Cisco and Kodak-makers of the Flip and Playsport series, respectively-have exited the market, there are still pocket 'corders to be had. Of course, for purposes of our discussion, let's not discount pocket camcorders like the Sony Bloggie Duo. Something like the Panasonic HDC-TM900 or Sony Handycam HDR-PJ10. By "camcorder" I mean a standalone, handheld video camera, one that records on flash memory or a built-in hard drive. Now that most smartphones and many tablets can shoot video-in some cases extremely sharp, high-definition video-there's considerably less incentive for users to spend extra money on a standalone camcorder.Īnd therein lies my question for today: Does it still make sense to buy one? I've purchased several over the years, always relishing the improvements in resolution and image quality.īut, let's face it, things have changed. That's why I've always been drawn to camcorders, which let me indulge my inner Spielberg-even if it's just to create music video-style family montages. If I could have a do-over, career-wise, you'd see my name in film credits instead of on blog posts (not that I don't have equal love for the latter, of course).
