If you plan on buying a video camcorder soon, you’ll be glad to hear that you have lots of choices…

First, always shoot on your wide-angle lens. By the properties of optics, a wide-angle lens will always get a shot that APPEARS less shaky. Take two cameras side by side. Zoom one all the way out and the other all the way in.

When I recently spoke with a video production newbie, he told me the biggest question he had was what kind of battery charger to buy with his video camera.

He wondered whether he should get one that came with a separate battery charger or one where the camera WAS the battery charger.
