Technology marches on, and the new high definition camcorder that is now available is proof of it. High definition is a trend that has become mainstream.

High definition is able to show a picture that has a considerably higher resolution than what a standard-definition picture shows. The pixel rate with a high def set is five times higher then what you see with SD. We can thank the rapid advances in technology for the new high definition camcorders and HDTV's that we enjoy today.

Videos shot on a high definition camcorder will have you believing that the action is taking place live, right where you are watching it. The pictures are true to life and the audio or sound is clear as a bell. You will be looking around to make sure that the glass you hear breaking isn't breaking in your kitchen, or that the car horn is not coming from your driveway. The high def revolution has arrived and once you experience it you won't ever want to return to standard-definition.

After you make the decision to purchase a high definition camcorder you next choice will be to shop online or at a brick and mortar store. You will find plenty of choices at both venues. Be prepared to shell out some extra dollars for the high def version of the camcorder.

Price is always a tricky subject. When you are talking a new high definition camcorder then you can expect a very wide range of prices. You really can find one that will fit in just about anyone's budget. They range from as low as $100 all the way up to many thousands of dollars. Pixel rate, contrast, and extras is what is going to determine the basis of cost. You will have to decide what you need and what you can afford with a high definition camcorder.
