Although camcorders have been replaced by smartphones and digital cameras, they are still used by some people today. Many professional videographers prefer the higher quality recordings that camcorders offer, as well as their physical ease of use and portability. Camcorders also allow for more creative control over settings such as shutter speed, focus, zoom and white balance. Additionally, many consumers who want to create home movies or capture special moments still turn to camcorders due to their affordability compared with other video recording devices.
