Electronic and Technology giant, Apple has done it again with the release of their latest gadget and gizmo the iPad. The device which features the company’s usual class leading brand of product development, provides users with a tablet portal that will enable them to perform a large proportion of the tasks that users currently perform on bulkier and more cumbersome laptops.

Video Camcorder Product Design from Standard to HD and Beyond

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

There is currently a massive push on video camera and video camcorder technology, with many product design teams around the globe testing just how far they can push this new technology. I’m sure most of us have now seen the benefits of using an HD television either in our homes or in a shop. It helps to maximise the output of quality with an amazing 1920×1080 pixels being display on the screen, and it hasn’t take video camcorder companies too long to catch up with this new standard.

You can now purchase handheld camcorders, some that are even as small as mobile phones that can amazingly record and store HD video on HD/SD cards for upwards of £100. It is staggering at the rate of electronic product design and it doesn’t look like stopping anytime soon. You have to wonder how long it will be before these companies start developing cameras that can record images that can later be projected as 3D images on our screens.
