Why I Still Use A Camcorder In 2024

Recently I already made a video about why I still use a camcorder. But in this video I am looking at an older model. While most people these days use a smartphone, how is it using a Sony Handycam in 2024? This is certainly not the best model of today because it does not shoot 4k, but I thought it was fun to look back at it. Because camcorders have a flip screen they are great if you are shooting a vlog for example. But also for shooting in the summer, music video, or filmmaking. This sony handycam is 11 years old. So it's not modern but I am not sure if I can call it retro. I use it for capturing moments, making youtube videos and sometimes vlogging.
