I have a point and shoot Panasonic camera that shoots in HD video. My wife would like a camcorder (basically a video camera). I am trying to figure out does a camcorder do anything different or better than a point and shoot regular camera that does video? Thanks
A camcorder, depending on size will usually have more features. A palm-size and/or larger cam could have more manual controls such has manual focus, ability to set light balance, external microphone jack, shoe mount for add-on light or mic, And most have threaded lens barrels for and-on filters, etc. Also a palm-size or larger camcorder makes it easier to hold, to control. And most have a pop-out LCD screen to monitor (lots of users like that). Camcorders usually hold more video than a point-and-shoot cam. Also, a camcorder could have a larger and better sensor and better quality lens. There are digital single-lens reflex cameras (D-SLR) on the market that shoot full HD. One of the draw-backs is the amount memory storage, depending on the media. But with D-SLRs, you have the ability to change lenses, which can allow you control over depth of field. All this is subjective to what a user wants in a camera.
