HIGH DEFINITION (HD) VIDEO CAMERAS

High definition - or HD for short - are the buzz words at the moment and are used mainly in the context of televisions. However, HD technology will be available across all the electronic product ranges, including video cameras or camcorders.

HD, or high definition, is creating quite a lot of interest, due to some very high spirited campaigning done by the cable networks wanting you to buy HD boxes to watch HD on television. What you may not be aware of, is the fact that HD is delivered in a widescreen format of 16:9 instead of the normal television format of 4:3.

Most customers have every right to be confused as to what HD is about, as most companies involved with it can't agree on one simple standard. The standard getting the most support with HD is 1080i, which means a resolution of 1080 interlaced lines or 720 progressive lines. The television signals in general will give you 525 lines so the increasing quality is dramatic, if you have the HD gear to watch the video the way it was meant to be.

Cameras that offer HD are simply the best you can buy. They are obviously more expensive than digital cameras and the sky's the limit when it comes to professional HD models.

The average HD video cameras will generally cost £500 and more, but the prices will come tumbling down in the months to come. HD cameras offer you the chance to shoot high definition picures and videos, and send them to friends or family. You can also save your shoots to disk or memory card, then take them with you everywhere you go.

Like what you see?

If you've yet to see a HD video camera, you'll probably find yourself amazed. The zoom offered with these cameras are amazing, as many can get above 100X! Shooting up close and personal is never a problem with HD video cameras.

HD cameras are definitely here to stay, but is the upgrade investment really worth it?
