Although there are many different types of DV camcorders, all of them should share some features in common in order to be of good quality. First of all, it is important that a DV camcorder has easy to use controls; otherwise this could become a constant problem and an obstacle for its user.

DV camcorders usually come with a high quality screen through which their users can view what camcorder would shoot as well as can play back what has already been shot. It is very important that this screen is of good quality as well as easy to be used while shooting a movie and handling camcorder.

This way, CCDs allow us to transfer an image which we observe into a screen, a printer or a scanner through electrical charges which it stores and which represent image. CCDs have a very important amount of sensitivity, providing this way high quality final products and good resolution despite bad illumination.

The way in which a CCD stores information regarding color is through electrical charge intensity. Each level of charge intensity corresponds to a different color from spectrum. This system is used in order to store image information equally as it is used to decode electrical charges back into colors and therefore creating image again. CCDs are present in many of devices which surround us since many of every day devices related to images which people use involve their use.
