Camcorders are popular for personal use, such as recording family events, vacations, and special occasions. They typically feature built-in storage or the option to use external memory cards. Modern camcorders come with various features, including zoom capabilities, image stabilization, and high-definition recording. Some models also offer connectivity options for sharing videos online or transferring them to computers. Many camcorders are designed for both amateur and professional use, catering to a wide range of users.
