Yesterday we talk about camcoder. There’s quite a frenzy related to high-definition recording going on right now, and that’s the reason why just about every important camcorder manufacturer out there is trying to capitalize on this trend. And one of the most eyebrow-raising announcements regarding an HD camcorder comes from US-based company DXG, which has just announced the release of the DXG-595V model, capable of recording videos in full HD resolution while at the same time retailing for an extremely low price, of just 200 US dollars.

According to the company’s statement, the device can record clips at a 1920 x1080 pixel resolution at 30 frames per second (PFS). The DXG-595V also offers users a 5X optical zoom, and is capable of taking 8 MP photos. As for recording media, the camcorder is compatible with SDHC cards with capacities of up to 8 GB (probably higher too, but that’s the value provided by the manufacturer), which can hold a total of 8 hours of HD video.

Moreover, the DXG-595V has been equipped with a three-inch TFT screen and is delivered together with all the cables required to connect the unit to a laptop or computer via USB 2.0, or to a TV through S-video or composite cables. Read the rest of this entry »

In the case of television, the recordings were ready to go instantly rather than waiting for the development of film. There were now detachable video cassettes.

There were some major events that occurred in 1982 that made the camcorder more available for home use. First JVC introduced the VHS-C format. The second was that Sony released the first professional camcorder named Betacam. The new VHS-C tapes were small cassettes that were being used in VCR’s. The Betacam allowed for more professional grade video recording. Now there did not need to be two units, the recording could be done in the camera and the portable Camcorder was born.
