A camera which contains an electronic image sensor rather than photographic film. The lens focuses an image on an electronic tube or CCD chip. A camera has electronic circuitry which generates color and sync pulses. Most portable consumer camcorders are equipped with a full complement of audio circuitry, e.g., microphone, audio amplifier and additional audio electronics. In order to obtain better quality images, a professional camera has three tubes or a triple CCD system, one for each primary color. Most professional cameras have a genlock input, which allows the camera to be synchronized to an external source. Some cameras also include basic character generators for titling purposes.

A camera that captures light on chips that convert light into electronic impulses (CCDs) and then fix the electronic impulses onto tape.
Camera for electronically processed videotape that requires no developing.
Camera that produces either analog video (NTSC, PAL or SECAM) or digital video (DV).
Camera capable of acquiring and delivering to a recording device full-motion video. Converts the moving image into a series of horizontal lines, which are further broken down into continuously varying pixels for display. Most often analog, but digital video cameras which use charge coupled devices (CCDs) are becoming common.
A video camera is a camera used for electronic motion picture acquisition, initially developed by the television industry but now common in other applications as well. The earliest video cameras were those of John Logie Baird, based on the electromechanical Nipkow disk and used by the BBC in experimental broadcasts through the 1930s. All-electronic designs based on the cathode ray tube, such as Vladimir Zworykin's Iconoscope and Philo T.
