The camcorder, the pioneer of video recording

Once upon a time, there was the camcorder, a device with an astonishing history. Its name, a catch-all phrase, combines its two functions, as both a video camera and a video recorder, since it is used for both filming and viewing. It has quite simply revolutionised the way we capture and preserve the most precious moments of our lives.

Before the advent of the camcorder, video capture was a complex and very expensive task, requiring bulky equipment and technical skills. Like photography, it was far from accessible to the general public! The introduction of the camcorder opened up access to video production, and now anyone can film what they like.

The first consumer camcorder was launched in 1983. It was not yet possible to play back films recorded directly on the device, and this had to wait until 1985 with the invention of the VHS-C format. The 1990s saw cameras become smaller and smaller, at the same time as video quality improved. The advent of digital camcorders made it possible to produce high-quality films that were much easier to watch and share than ever before!

HD camcorders became the norm in the early 2000s, with resolution up to 1080p. Today, most models offer even better quality, up to 4K! Add to that the integration of connectivity features such as Wi-Fi, making it even easier to share images, and you've got the perfect video camera!

Versatile and accessible, the camcorder is very easy to use, for all generations! Whether you have technical skills or not, you can have fun and express your creativity by making short amateur films, creating content for social media or capturing the best moments with your family.

Why choose a camcorder over another device?

Would you like to buy a dedicated video camera to make top-quality films? Whether you want to capture your holiday memories, your children's performances or your amateur short films, choosing the right camera is essential. There are several options at your fingertips: cameras, action cams, smartphones and, of course, camcorders. These are specifically designed for video capture, making them a highly relevant choice.

Camcorders are both ergonomic and easy to use. Unlike cameras, which are primarily designed to take the most beautiful shots, camcorders have dedicated video functions and high-quality resolution from 2.7 to 4K. What's more, they come with integrated ergonomic handles, so you can hold them comfortably for long periods, even with just one hand. This means you can film without tiring, while maintaining good image stability.

Auto focus, stabilisation, flash, LED lighting, self-timer, face detection, zoom, touch screen or articulated screen: the camcorder gives you every chance of getting the perfect shot! These features make it possible to capture smooth, sharp video in a wide variety of situations, without the need for additional accessories. And, as an added bonus, the camcorder can also play the role of a camera, with high-quality resolution.

Equipped with a high-capacity SD card and a lithium battery, the camcorder gives you the freedom to record all the videos you want. You'll be able to keep beautiful memories of all the events in your life: family outings, weddings, end-of-year celebrations, your child's first steps or even birthdays. The camcorder is also ideal for professional use, to capture your conferences, interviews or documentaries.
