Whether you’re a scuba diver, snow skier, mountain biker, mountain climber or participate in various other sports, action camcorders can help you document your conquests. The cameras are waterproof, often come with protective casings and can take a beating and still keep on ticking. ... The cameras have many of the same features of more traditional cameras. However, because a sports camcorder is most often used during moments of action, there are usually fewer focus and zoom features.
