Video camcorders are not as widely used as once before. They are incredibly limited but they are far from obsolete. Modern video camcorders offer the benefit of digital recording as well as software that allows you to edit videos more easily.

Video recorders are still being manufactured and will be in use for a long time to come. Increasingly, recorders are using hard disks or solid state memory as the recording medium but they are video recorders nonetheless.

Tape based recorders are still widely used in both professional and domestic cameras and in professional production environments. As solid state memory falls further in price and data densities increase, the trend towards non tape recording will eventually see the death of tape based systems but that is still quite a few years from now.
