What's the difference between a videocamera and a camcorder?

well...only like the title say: what's the difference-- and please don't give me any rude answers; it's merely, I was discussion about this to some of my friends, and they wondered too.


Answers:    A camcorder is a TYPE of video camera; a video camera doesn't necessarily HAVE to be a camcorder. All video cameras (including camcorders) shoot video, but contained by order to be a "camcorder," it must also be capable of record video (hence the possession cam-CORDer).

The term "video camera" can refer to a camera that does not in actuality RECORD to media. For example, the cameras used within studios and in big field productions such as sports events habitually do not have any ability to record to video or any other medium. They simply are wired to other devices, within a control room or a truck. There, the signals are often processed through a control part and a switcher, and then finally sent to a separate video deck, server, a network master control room, or to nouns.

Furthermore, a webcam is a video camera, but since it often doesn't hold a media slot resembling a tape owner, a disc slot, or a card slot, it's not a camcorder. It is used only to be hooked up to a computer. There's no route to get it to truly record.

A "camcorder" MUST be capable of record. Otherwise, it's newly a camera.

In common usage, however, when citizens say "video camera," they usually are conversation about camcorders. They'll usually read out "webcam" when talking going on for a webcam, and the average person doesn't collaborate much about studio cameras that cost more than most cars, unless they're video professionals. So when ancestors talk around a video camera, they're usually talking something like a camcorder...but not always!
