A camcorder (formally a video camera recorder) is an electronic device that combines a video camera and a video recorder into one unit; typically for out-of-studio consumer video recording. Equipment manufacturers do not seem to have strict guidelines for the term usage; for instance marketing materials may present the device by its colloquial term camcorder, while full name on the package and manual is often video camera recorder.
The majority of devices that are capable of recording video are camera phones and digital cameras primarily intended for still pictures, but the term "camcorder" is often restricted to mean a portable, self-contained device having video capture and recording as its primary function.
The earliest types were tape-based camcorders, which recorded analog signals onto videotape cassettes. In the 21st century digital recording became the norm, with tape dwindling away gradually, replaced with other storage media such as internal flash memory, hard drive, and SD card. Camcorders that do not use magnetic tape are often called tapeless camcorders, while camcorders that permit using more than one type of medium, like built-in hard disk drive and memory card, are sometimes called hybrid camcorders.
The best camcorder in my opinion is Canon camcorder. It shows us the HD camcorder, best quality video and the best technology while we are using it. But have you ever lost your video data while you are using your camcorder or transfer the video to the computer?

The digital video or photo in your camcorderstore some of best and unforgettable moments of your life. However, sometimes due to some reasons, you have to face a god damn situation-the data loss. You may run across a dozen of cases that lead to loss of your precious and memorable data. Some of the most common data loss reasons are listed below:
1. Accidental Deletion:
Accidental deletion is one common case of media data loss. You may carelesslydelete some precious files from the cameramemory card or your hard drive and get yourself into a critical data loss situation.
2. Reformatting:
If you reformat your memory card/hard drive, you will end up losing all the files. Fortunately, all formatted data and its properties will remain intact unless you overwrite the memory card with new data.
3. Incomplete Read/Write Operation:
An incomplete 'read' or 'write' operation may cause data corruption on the storage media and consequently lead to unnecessary photo loss.
