A guide to buying a small video camera

There are many types of video cameras. However, if you are looking for a small one, there are many factors that you will need to keep in mind such as price, durability, video quality, extra features, brand name and special features such as waterproof cameras. You will also have to consider how small you would like your video camera to be because one that is too small will probably make less provision for accessories. Read on.

Price, durability and quality

Price
Video cameras range greatly in price and as with most luxury items, you generally get what you pay for. The deciding factor with respect to price is the technology that is built into the camera. If this is an extreme precision, then the camera will be more expensive, but again, this depends on what you are looking for and your available budget. Durability
If you are going to pay a reasonable amount of money for a small video camera, you would expect that it is durable or at least, it contains durable batteries. This is important because if you are not in a position to replace or recharge your batteries, you need to make sure that they will last a long time. Quality
One of the most difficult factors to prove with respect to a small video camera is how much quality it contains. Here, the news is promising. Most video cameras can today record higher quality images in smaller packages which means that bigger is not necessarily better. In addition, more smaller video cameras can take still photos, which means that you do not have to purchase a specialised camera to do so.

Brand names and extra features

Brand names
Most of the brand names that specialise in small video cameras are instantly recognisable: Flip, Kodak and Sanyo are three of the most common ones. It is always wise to peruse several different manufacturers' products before making a choice as one of the lesser known video camera makers may cater more specifically to your needs at a cheaper price. Extra features
As technology becomes more sophisticated, it is not unusual to find video cameras with highly specialised features. One example is waterproof video cameras which are ideal, if you plan to use your equipment near water. In fact, these go a step further since they can actually be used underwater which makes them invaluable, if you plan to specialise in this type of videography. Inevitably, however, underwater video camera systems do carry a hefty price tag.
