There is no big difference between Handycam and Camcorder. The camcorder is from the two words 'camera and recorder'. It is a portable electronic device which can be used to make video and audio recording on to a storage device. Handycam is just a type of camcorder, and it can also be used to make audio and video recording onto a storage device. This device was first created in 1985 by Sony. It looks smaller compared to other types of camcorders. Camcorder uses bits and bytes to record information.

Camcorders generally work by using three major components. The first one is the lens that helps in gathering and focusing light. Second, it uses an imager to convert lights into electric signals, and the recorder helps in converting the electric signal into digital video and prepares them for storage. Images recorded by both camcorders and Handycam are of high quality.
