Panasonic Cam

First, define the above terms.
The pocket cam or digital camcorder bag is as its name implies, a small camcorder that easily fits in a pocket or purse for easy access with ease.

Do not be fooled by the small size of the pocket digital camcorder, but for most new models of Pocket Cam 2010 can record HD video resolution up to 1920 x 1080, as the cams and prosumer camcorders professional This resolution and the ability to match your flat screen TV news.

Add to that the ability to 5MP still images, or some of them even 10MP, a USB arm to swing and connect directly to YouTube, a good digital zoom image stabilization can be 4x face detection and a memory card slot for inserting an SD / HC, and you are well armed to record anything moments notice, and all for well under $ 200.

An example of a Pocket Cam is good Bloggie Sony ,

So why do you need something other than a pocket cam or digital camcorder pocket you might ask? Well, let's prosumer cam.

A cam can be defined as prosumer HD camcorders that have all the features of a handheld digital camcorder recording in Full HD resolution, but equipped with more features such as up to two card slots capable of holding SD / HC to each 64GD.

Some also have internal hard drives, while others have a combination of both.

Prosumer Cam will certainly have a 10x optical zoom or 20x and digital zoom, while the Pocket Cam usually have only a digital zoom with a maximum of 4x possible. The clarity of an optical zoom far exceeds that of a digital zoom, so this will affect your results much.

You can expect many more features in a prosumer cam such as features found in Canon's high-end, new VIXIA HF S10 Dual Flash Memory camcorder :

An internal flash memory of 32GB large can record up to 12 hours of video, two slots for flash memory card,
24Mbps, the highest rate in the full HD resolution AVCHD
30p Progressive Mode
new models zebra patterns, color peaked, with a personal key and remote access, and shooting with a 24p cinema mode for recording video that looks like a blockbuster holiday.

Full HD CMOS Image Sensor, histogram display, brand and level grid, color art, color bars with Test Tone function of gain control, the microphone level control (Auto / Manual), Automatic Gain Control Limits (On / Off).
The list of features on a prosumer cam go on and on:
Variable speed zoom control, and gate level mark, Microphone Terminal with Manual Audio Level Control, Built-in Electronic Lens Cover, Video Flash Light, Wireless WL-D88, and more ....

I'm sure you're getting the message now, if you can afford to pay several hundred dollars more for a prosumer cam instead of $ 200 for a handheld digital camcorder, you'll have a HD camcorders will not want only friends, but the entire city.

HD camcorders can not do better than they can?
