How do camcorders make your lives easier?

A camcorder is simply the modern equivalent of a home movie camera, generally used for taking home movies of family memories. But you can use it for lots of other things. You can take photographs, even listen to the radio. In addition, there are waterproof camcorders which are designed to take under water movies. Camcorders have found use in nearly all corners of electronic media, from electronic news organizations to TV/current-affairs productions. In locations away from a distribution infrastructure, camcorders are invaluable for initial video acquisition. Subsequently, the video is transmitted electronically to a studio/production center for broadcast. Scheduled events such as official press conferences, where a video infrastructure is readily available or can be feasibly deployed in advance, are still covered by studio-type video cameras
