Mark McGahee

Defined Tag: digital video camera.
The digital video camera is a form of video recording equipment that uses digital instead of analog representations of the video signal. The most common form of recording digital video is on tape which is then distributed on optical discs such as the Digital Video Disc or DVD but exceptions like camcorders also exist where the recording is done directly to the DVD.

Though there are many leading manufacturers that are selling their high quality digital video cameras there is also place for smaller companies to cash in on the demand for such products. It is not unusual to see smaller companies from countries such as Taiwan also entering into the fray and selling their own versions of such high performance digital video cameras.
