The best mini camcorders on the market have features such as elevated digital and optical zoom, interchangeable lenses, and image stabilization. At the high end you might also expect manual control of shutter speed and exposure, white (or neutral) balance, focus, and audio levels.
Other superior features would include a digital signal processor (dsp), and perhaps a bayonet lens mount for speedy lens changeover. You would also want to have high-capacity sd card support, an i-link connector for firewire data transfer to your computer, and a usb link as well. A transflective display screen offers better visibility under strong light.
As for resolution, 1920 x 1080 at 30 fps (frames per second) would be considered excellent, down to perhaps 640 x 480 at the lower end. A still resolution of 8 megapixels should be more than fine. The figures are moving ever upwards…
All but the cheapest mini camcorders come with an expansion slot to insert storage cards which will increase available video storage and lengthen recording time. 60 minutes would be considered the norm, but this can be greatly extended.
Some people prefer a digicam with some weight and substance to it, making for a steadier control when recording – the complete opposite of the lightweight Flip Video, for example.
Of course, for some, you can forget all these features, because size is everything.
Size is everything.
