Can my camcorder play back the videos I've shot?

Tim Smith (Camcorder Training Specialist) gives expert video advice on: How does a camcorder work?; Why don't consumer camcorders work well in low light? and more...

All camcorders have the ability to be a VCR, a playback deck. I recommend it. I understand when people don't want to use the camera as a deck to play back videos, because it is true that the more you use a camera, the more you wear it out. But believe me, these cameras were built pretty well, and they really were built to be used as a deck to play back videos. Now, if you're a high intensity industrial user, maybe that doesn't apply. But for most of us, we can use these cameras as decks to play back film and it'll never be a problem.
