to find what is necessary and what isn't. Some of the features
to look for when reviewing camcorders include, image stabilizer,
optical zoom, lcd display, digital still image mode, mpeg
movie mode and color view finder.
- image stabilizer - this feature removes most of the
camera shakiness that are so common in older camcorders.
- optical zoom - Optical zoom uses the camcorder's lens
to magnify part of the image without losing any image quality.

digital video clips in a compressed size that can then
be sent to friends and family through email. Note that
mpeg video is small in file size and the resolution quality
is not the best.

definition resolutions up to 1152 x 864.
- lcd display - a color lcd display is common place on
most newer digital camcorder models.
