Camcorder

The earliest camcorders are tape-based, recording analog signals onto videotape cassettes. In 2006, digital recording became the norm, with tape replaced by storage media such as internal flash memory and SD cards.

Earlier, the term camcorder exclusively referred to a camera with a recorder. But almost all of the electronic cameras built in 2006 provide recording capability essentially making them a "camcorder". The term camcorder is now exclusively used for a particular camera range which provides advanced functions over more common cameras.
