According to the free dictionary, a camcorder is a lightweight, handy video camera that records data digitally onto a storage device.http://www.thefreedictionary.com/camcorder A camcorder is made up of the combination of a camera and a video recorder (cam (era) + (re)corder). In the early 80’s, the first camcorders to be produced captured data onto external video tapes via an analog method.

This method persisted until the 90’s when the first digital recording camcorder was invented. The digital camcorder allowed users to record on video tapes and digital video (DV) cassettes; however, they were heavy and needed to be carried on the shoulder. But in 2003, Sony came up with the first tapeless digital recording camcorder known as XDCAM. The XDCAM used a professional disc instead of the usual video tapes and cassette. The professional disc is an optical disc on which videos and images are digitally captured.

By 2009, the camcorder technology had greatly improved. Now camcorders come in different shapes and sizes, are light weight and small enough to be hand held. Videos and images are now stored in memory cards, which also come in different sizes.http://www.internetvideomag.com/Articles-2006/112706_historyofcamcorders.htm

Most camcorder coupons are only valid for a specified period of time. Some stores don’t usually accept printable coupons. Always ask the store attendants so that you can be familiar with their coupon policy. Be aware that almost all coupons have an expiration date printed on them, and if not used prior to that date, the coupon becomes invalid and worthless.
