The optics (lens, zoom) influence too much on the quality of your images. About the zoom, most manufacturers indicates the
digital zoom
as well and offers value for x400! In reality we must dig into the docs and see only the optical zoom which is much lower. Digital zoom is done by electronics based on the optical zoom magnification artificial pixels resulting in a very bad quality, I also recommend to deactivate the digital zoom function and you simply optical zoom which is the only true zoom.
Zoom is often taken as the ability to approach the scene, but can also move away from the reverse (wide) This is sometimes very important if for example you want to shoot in a small room a group of such person. This is often a weak point of digital camcorders. Instead of simply studying the value of Zoom, look rather focal representing optically true zoom capabilities (distance and magnification). The Focal length is defined by a minimum value (distance) and Max (magnification).

The exposure modes are important to optimize your shooting. Camcorders offer special programs for a number of conditions (cloudy, beach, snow, indoors ...), the option of manual exposure setting is more important (manual diaphragm) for good image quality in any conditions. The autofocus. All camcorders have an auto-focus system, i.e. that the development is done automatically on a central area.
Most camcorders have great public sensitivity rather medium to low thus producing very noisy images when the light is not strong. This becomes especially annoying indoors or only use a torch or powerful sports can overcome this problem. The tri-CCD models often have a higher sensitivity. The sensitivity is highly linked to the size of photo-sites (CCD sensor unit). More than one sensor is large (size measured in inches) is more sensitive. More than one sensor pixel, the less sensitive.
The sensor size in pixels is also highly variable and influt directly on the details of your images. DV PAL defines 720x576 pixels (420 000 pixels) but few low-end camcorders offers sensors of this format. We must also consider the stabilizer digital gripe dangerously dimensions useful when the sensor is active. 600 000 pixels are sufficient so far for the video. Some camcorders offer 1 or 2 million pixels, these sizes are useful for the photo mode and such definition shall fall in sensitivity.
