Which low-cost digital video recorders are best for use in early care and education and early

intervention? There are a number of good choices. In this document I compare seven models.

These are not the only choices. In fact, all of these brands offer more than one model. But these

models are definitely in the ballpark. Please note that new brands and models appear very

frequently and current models are updated or discontinued – I try to update this comparison

periodically.

Which model is best for you depends on what you ultimately want to do with the video and which

features you want or need. Before reviewing the comparison tables, read this chart to help get an

idea which features might be most important to you.

Featuresto

Consider

WhyitMatters

Format Decide if you want/need SD (standard definition) or HD (high definition). HD has

a better image but also has much larger file sizes.

Video Compression Find out what video format the camcorders record in and if that format suits

your needs for your end product, editing, posting, and playing. Not all formats

work equally well on PCs and Macs. Common formats include .avi, .mov, and

mpeg-4.

Record in different

file sizes

Some camcorders just have one setting. Other camcorders let you choose

between two or more sizes, so you can choose the largest size for viewing and

smaller sizes for posting on the web, emailing, etc.

Battery Does the camcorder come with its own unique type of battery (these are usually

rechargeable) or can you use batteries that can be readily purchased

anywhere? Which do you prefer?

Rechargeable

battery

Some camcorders use rechargeable batteries and some use disposable

batteries. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Figure out what

works best for you. If the batteries are rechargeable, find out how to recharge

them, e.g. through an external charger or by plugging the camcorder into your

computer. If you recharge by plugging the camcorder to a computer, you can’t

use the camcorder while the battery is charging. If the camcorder uses a

rechargeable battery, you might want to buy a spare so that when your battery

loses its charge you have another to replace it before you can get around to

recharging.

Tripod Port You need this on the bottom of the camcorder so you can screw it into a tripod
