With today’s multiple recording formats, selecting a camcorder can be confusing. You will need to choose a format based on how you play back your tapes and the quality of your video and audio system. Camcorder types include the compact VHS (VHS-C), compact VHS (SVHS-C), 8mm, Hi8mm (high-band 8mm), Digital8 (Sony exclusive format) and MiniDV. See the appropriate BestBuy.com frequently asked question for each particular camcorder type. Q: How big of a viewscreen should I get? A: Many camcorders come with 2 viewing systems: a traditional tilt-up viewfinder on the top and a bigger flip-open color viewscreen on the side. These little color TV screens fold out from the camcorder body, making it easier to record while moving around. You’ll get a clear view without looking through the viewfinder and you can play back the recording on the spot. If you don’t want a viewscreen model, you can save money buying a traditional camcorder.
