Choose A Digital Video Recorder / Camera

Panasonic SDR-H40 Digital Video Recorder / Camera


Choosing a digital video recorder / camera can be a daunting task if you don't know what to look for. Following some simple rules will make sure you are able to purchase a quality recorder with confidence from any electronics department store.








Instructions


1. Picture Quality is always important. In digital cameras you always looked for the camera with the most mega pixels, but with digital video recorders that can also take still photos you want to look at the zoom feature. The more the zoom, the higher the quality of the photos and video.


2. Memory is the amount of video or photos that can be taken or stored on the recorder. Some digital video recorders / cameras have a Hard Disk Drive or HDD. They can also take an SD card for added storage capacity. In short, the more storage, the video you can take. A high quality video recorder should be able to record about 20 hours or more of video. This does not mean the battery will last that long. The battery should last at least 1 hour.








3. Other options you will want when you buy a digital video recorder are:


1. Capable of taking still photos


2. Image stabilization


3. The camera will work with your current pc operating system like windows XP, etc.


4. Includes editing software for your computer if you don't already have software
