Certainly, a lot of things have evolved since it has been first introduced to man. Take for example video cameras. When it first came out, it was very bulky and heavy that only professionals who use it for a living or business are really compelled to buy them and when you need to have an event covered through video, then you have to hire it out.
But along with so many other changes happening around us, video cameras, too, have evolved. Thus, from what used to be bulky and heavy, we have camcorders that are small, compact, and handy with almost the same, if not better, quality and features.
Features
One of these interesting developments in video recording is the Webbie HD camcorder by Sony. It is small in size, more like pocket-size, but the features it carries goes beyond its small stature. This camcorder has better optical zoom capabilities than other mini camcorders which makes it ideal for personal use.
It entered the market at a time when YouTube, video, and social networking are at their peak. The Webbie HD camcorder’s entry to the market could not have been in more perfect timing. It is not very expensive and therefore, more people can get it and enjoy video recording at very affordable prices. It comes in very fashionable colors so you can choose a color that fits your personality.
Storage
Webbie does not make use of traditional mini-DVDs and other storage devices and is capable of capturing a 30-frame HD video on 720P or 1080P. Furthermore, one can easily upload video clips from your memory stick to YouTube or any other similar websites. The name itself implies that it is intended for internet use and you can record videos of 90 minutes in length.
Some Negative Concerns
A couple of concerns regarding the Webbie camcorder are the inability to replace the battery and the removable lens cover, something that is not necessary when the item has been designed in a way that the lens can be protected without it.
Some people foresee this as a source of stress when faced with incidents of misplacement and worse, loss. Yet another observation is that many find some buttons for operating the unit quite oddly placed.
