Some things you should consider before buying Handycam.
1. What format you choose
If you plan to transfer the movie to the PC, select digital camcorders. If you do not need to transfer to a PC, choose Analog Handycam.
2. Single or Triple CCD CCD
If you want the transfer to a PC with no loss of quality color, choose a handycam with Triple CCD. In addition, Triple Handycam CCD is feasible as a standard broadcast.
3. Digital Photo
Consider, if you need a digital photo integrated facilities at the Handycam? Because the facility will increase the price of digital photo Handycam significant.
4. Memory Card Type
Is your PDA users? If yes, you should choose the type Handycam his memory card with your PDA. So, can mutually share these memory cards. Also if you have to send pictures via email immediately, if your memory card is the same, then no PC needed.
5. Body size Handycam
Small does not mean the best, because everyone is different hand sizes. You should try with your own hands, whether Handycam comfortable in the hand? What about the Zoom & Rec button, is easy to reach?
6. LCD Size
With a large LCD, it helps us to see or monitor image, because the detail produced will be more clearly visible.
7. View Finder Color / B / W
Do you need a Colour View Finder. You see, if we are recording with camcorders, we use the LCD monitor. In fact, View Finder is rarely used. Only in conditions such as outdoor shooting in the afternoon, View Finder is necessary, because the LCD is usually somewhat difficult to see.
8. Image Stabilizer
Make sure the camcorder you have Image Stabilizer, because basically we shook hands when holding the camcorder. The best thing is the Optical Image Stabilizer, but they're expensive. If your budget is limited, Digital Stabilizer was quite good.
9. Night Shoot
You should check first, how minimal Illuminationnya. Instead, you select Handycam camcorders are capable of working at least 1 Luv. Better yet if you can work with camcorders light conditions 0 Luv. Consider, if you need a facility nightshoot? Do you often shooting at night? Also you need to know, that nightshoot working in monochrome green color. For the latest type, is provided Colour Night Shoot, but the price is still expensive.
10. Battery capacity and availability
You need to look at your Handycam battery capacity. Do not be fooled by the information on the cardboard Handycam, as listed on the cardboard Handycam is the maximum capacity when using Extended battery (Optional). Also you should ensure the availability of batteries for your Handycam, not to buy the Handycam yang batereinya difficult to obtain. You need to remember, Camcorder batteries generally average about 1-2 years. Handycam camera I could have you become merely ornamental articles on your personal museum.
11. Shoot the lights
Is it provided light shoot? If not available, whether provided hotshoe for additional lighting? If this facility does not exist, can be tricked by buying an external shoot lights with bracket that is connected to the tripod hole. It's just a little trouble this last way to bring handycamnya.
12. Guarantee
Please check in advance the conditions of the warranty camcorders. If no warranty, check carefully all the accessories, if there are defects in the Handycam (Check the LCD Monitor and Electronic View Finder, consider whether the motor runs smooth zoom / no sound rude). If the warranty, check first whether the warranty from the distributor (there must guarantee card), if the store warranty (warranty conditions have clearly written on the check and stamped). Ask if the warranty covers servicing and spare parts.
13. Determine the large budget
Above of all is how much you are willing to spend on this Handycam. Do not let the big pegs instead of the pole. Happy Buying!
