A camcorder is a combination camera and video recorder, as the name implies. Camcorder is a combination of the words camera and recorder. Camcorders are primarily used to record motion video, although they may be able to capture stills as a feature but some people feel pictures taken in their alternative mode are of poorer quality. A video camera is technically is one that just takes a moving picture. It's a generic term, covering camcorders and cameras which capture video without recording it. Cameras that only capture video would need a separate recording device like a video tape recorder to record video. Wish that would help.
