I used to be a keen amateur photographer when I was a teenager and during my 20s. My father had an old camera, later he bought a new one. He also bought developing devices, so I used to make black and white photographs at home.
Later in my 30s. I used a camera only during my holiday and I started to buy colored films, which I wasn’t able to develop at home. It was necessary to send them to the lab.
In 1994 I bought my first camcorder and I was thrilled from it. Its zoom was excellent, I could record even remote objects well. It was amazing, that I was able to record objects in motion and to replay them on my TV monitor.
At that time I completely ceased using a camera and I thought that everyone would do the same and that the production of cameras would finish.
At first I was right, because most of my relatives, friends and people, who I knew, bought a camcorder. But later cameras with a zoom and with a possibility of recording video sequences were invented. They were quite cheap. It was clear that cameras like that, produced on a digital base, had most of the advantages that only camcorders had offered so far.
I’d say, that people buy cameras more than camcorders these days.
Maybe camcorders alone will cease and will be completely replaced with cameras in spite of the fact that nowadays digital camcorders enables taking pictures too.
It’s also possible that mobile phones in a short future will enable not only calling and taking pictures, but shooting objects in motion too.
