November 23, 2007- San Diego, CA - This year, buying a selecting and buying a camcorder is much more confusing than it has ever been in years past. There are a plethora of differing technologies to pick from as well as a bewildering assortment of features and capabilities that need to be examined. It is not easy.

Internet Video Magazine today announced their guide to what you need to know in order to buy the right kind of camcorder for you and your family

A decade ago, consumers just had to choose between VHS and 8mm. If you were a professional – then you had to decide if you wanted the slightly higher quality "prosumer: flavors, i.e. SVHS or Hi8. Still a bit confusing but it was still all videotape. As the decade progressed though, more and more consumers made the obvious decision to abandon analog VHS and 8mm and move to digital video. Again, a simple decision, digital was better. However it was still a tape-based format.

Now in the last couple years, the options have exploded. Now there are all kinds of media capture formats to consider.

According to Mark Shapiro, editor in chief at Internet Video Magazine, "In addition to the good old digital videotape format, we now have camcorders that record video to solid state flash drives, to tiny spinning hard drives, to optical media like DVD. Confusing. Even worse, they all work well. It's not easy to choose!"

The Guide to Solving the Camcorder Shopping crisis covers the advantages and differences between the various formats - DV tape, DVD disk, hard drive camcorders and flash memory as well as exploding the myths of zoom ratios.
