| The pocket camcorder is a small handy device for capturing either video or audio ideas without having to carry a camera. The quality of these devices is ok, and the high definition ones, while more expensive - do produce production quality video, |
| But I am not listing this hear for the quality, I am listing it for its functionality. The pocket camcorder is a nice tool to capture pictures or video to save as story ideas. I have taken it to small towns and see a landmark sign (such as Vallandighamls speech in Mount Vernon, Ohio) and narrated my initial thoughts and the possible try that could be used from it. I can then transfer the thoughts to my PC for reference or to capture for promotional means. |
| "Jazz" and "Flip" are 2 popular brands of camcorders. They can be found for as little as $60 and up to $200. The high definition costs more. You will also need to purchase a "flash sd card" to store the video. The costs will depend on the size, a 2 Gigabyte card will store around an hour of video and costs around $25. |
