What to check before you buy a video camera
- Zoom: handycams have 20x to 30x optical zoom, which covers a whole hall from the back.
- Resolution: 4K camcorders (Sony AX43A, Panasonic VX3) look sharper on modern TVs; Full HD is enough for simple family videos.
- Audio: professional camcorders (Sony PXW-Z190, Canon XA60, XA75, Panasonic AG-CX10) have XLR inputs for wireless microphones.
- Recording time: check the battery life and dual card slots for long events.
- Stabilisation: optical stabilisation keeps handheld zoom steady.
Video camera types
- Handycams: Sony CX405, AX43A, Panasonic V180 and VX3 for family events.
- Professional camcorders: Sony PXW and HXR, Canon XA and Panasonic AG for events and news.
Care and maintenance
- Keep the camera and lenses in a dry bag with silica gel packs; humidity causes fungus inside lenses.
- Clean the lens with a blower and a microfibre cloth, never with tissue paper.
- Charge batteries before trips and keep a spare; remove the battery if the camera will sit unused for weeks.
Common mistakes
- Buying a Full HD model for clients who want 4K.
- Not carrying a second battery for a long event.
- Using the built-in mic in a noisy hall instead of an external microphone.
- Ignoring the warranty and where the service centre is.
