We all love recording events that are special to us. Occasions such as weddings, anniversaries and birthdays are something that should be captured and saved forever – on tape. But what if the event happens at night? How will you capture your memorable occasion on screen? Is there a camcorder that is good enough to use at night? Here are some HD camcorders that have excellent night recording capability. These video camcorders have received the highest online reviews.
1. The DCR-TRV 17 from Sony is a great pick for night time recording. It is easy to use with function buttons that can easily switch from manual to auto mode. Its LCD is about 3.5 inches and gives a time code as well as lets you know the battery life. Another great feature is its night vision. The Sony Nightshot, as it is called, it a setting that contains a vivid square in the middle of the frame. Of course this is more than just an HD camcorder. It can take pictures as well. And it comes with a memory stick so that you can store up more pictures and videos.
2. Panasonic HM-TA1 (black) is a minicamcorder that enables you to get above-average shots and HD video recording. But this gadget is sorely lacking in terms of design. Aside from that it has no mic, macro focus and headphone jack. Its only redeeming qualities are its size and the fact that it can record at night. But that’s about it.
3. JVC Everio GZ-HM300. The good thing about this High definition camcorder is that it is small and cheap. It has an autofocus system and is handy enough to carry around. However its video quality is poor and it doesn’t have optical image stabilization.
4. Canon HG10. This digital hd camcorder looks flashy and it has the specs to go with it. It has 10x optical zoom lens with a focal length of 61mm. It has good video quality and superb image stabilization. It weighs only a little more than a pound. There’s a button on the LCD that enables you to manually adjust the settings like the focus, backlight and exposure.
5. Sony Handycam DCR-SR47. This is cute little HD camcorder with a huge storage capacity (60 GB) and megazoom lens. Its features as well as its small size are what attracts customers to it. It is also uncomplicated and very easy to use. It has a touch screen menu which makes navigation easier. The downside here is that its video quality is not that good. But its affordable price and other features more than makes up for this.
Its available in black, blue and red. The whole camera is about as big as a soda can, which means you can easily fit it inside your coat pocket or a small hand bag. This is an ideal buy for those looking for something handy and affordable. Of course don’t expect too much of the video quality. But if you’re just looking for something to capture your crazy antics on screen then this would be the perfect high definition camcorder for you.
