   
Low Light Camcorders
The Sony Handycam HDR-XR550V seems to be one of the favorites when it comes to low light camcorders. It can
record precious memories with the 1920x 1080 high definition twelve point one megapixel. It records right to the
massive 240GB hard disk drive. The exmor R CMOS sensor gives superior low light shooting performance. The Optical
steady shot will stabilize the camera with the active mode and the three way anti shaking device. It gives you a
wide angle to full telephoto shooting.
The professional quality G lens of low light camcorders give brilliant, accurate color reproduction and good,
sharp images. It also has direct copy so you can copy videos directly to the external hard disk drive, with never
using a computer. Price wise you are looking about seven hundred dollars.
Other low light camcorders is the Flip Video Ultra HD camcorder. This little gem combines the Flip Video’s
signature shoot and share ease with the power of clear and vivid HD video. It has one hundred and twenty minutes of
record time, thus allowing you to never miss that special moment again. And what is really nice is it fits in your
pocket or purse.
Just because this camcorder is small, it does not mean it is not a good low light camcorder. Many people like it
because it is small and very easy to use. It can record up to 720p and can shoot and transfer to a computer. You
can upload your video to YouTube with ease and confidence. This is made possible because of the basic design, the
software and trademark flip out USB connector. The TFT LCD screen on the back lets you record even in bright
sunlight. It has a AA battery pack that shoots up to two and a half hours of shooting. It can also be charged with
the flip USB stick, or you can use the adapter.
Low light camcorders are really nice to have, most of them will record in 720p high definition, they have four
output built in speakers. Although you have to keep your arm pretty steady when recording, it is still a pretty
good camcorder for the price. Depending on where you buy it, the average price starts around one hundred and sixty
dollars.
Other low light camcorders is the Panasonic HDC-TM 700. This camcorder uses the progressive method, meaning it
can record twice as much data than the interlaced method. The interlacing method requires two images to get a
complete picture, the progressive method only needs one image to complete the picture.
Another nice feature on low light camcorders such as this one is the 60 per second recordings. This is an
extremely dense image information that will create intricate detail and a very nice smooth motion. When images move
quickly such as sports, afterimages are lowered to create a more natural image. The progressive method is more
effective when shooting designs over the moir patterns that tend to occur. Your recorded images are displayed
clearly even when you turn them into still pictures.
