Editorial reviews:

The RCA CC-6383 camcorder uses VHS-C tapes, which are simply smaller VHS tapes. You can play your tapes in any VHS VCR with the included cassette adapter. This feature also allows the manufacturer to make a compact, affordable camcorder. The CC-6383 is a lightweight 1.9 pounds and portable for vacation traveling and packing.

This convenient and light camcorder has many traditional features to aid you in recording. It has a built-in AutoShot feature that automatically focuses and adjusts to available light. The LCD color monitor lets you see exactly what you're taping. The monitor also rotates 270 degrees so you can watch and record at the same time. The CC-6383 includes the Steady Pix feature, which corrects slight shaking of images--especially handy for zooming in on a distant subject, recording an approaching small subject, recording while walking, or recording from a moving vehicle. Your viewers will appreciate this feature during playback because it will make your recording easier to watch.

The CC-6383 has a fade-in and -out option that adds a professional touch to your recordings. For artistic flexibility, RCA includes the wide-format 16:9 mode. You can also record in a special animation mode that creates the illusion of movement for an otherwise stationary scene when you shoot a series of slightly different poses. The time-lapse recording mode shows subtle changes when focused on an object (such as plant growth or cloud formations). You do this by programming the CC-6293 to record at preset time intervals. If you like to add scene transitions, a five-second recording option exists.

The playback options are basic, including position on the tape, visual search, stop-action pause, time counter, tracking, and time base corrector. The CC-6383 includes a rechargeable battery, AC adapter and charger, shoulder strap, cassette adapter, cassette adapter battery, and a clock cell.
