Camcorder, camera, smartphone - what films best?

Smartphone, camera, camcorder: who shoots the best videos? We tested camcorders and compared them with other devices for filming. The results are surprising. The test candidates are classic camcorders, system camcorders and system cameras with interchangeable lenses, high-quality compact cameras, action cams and smartphones. They differ not only in terms of video quality, but also in many other aspects. We also tested whether the internal microphones are any good and how easy the models are to operate. Only a few devices are at least good in all test categories. The good news: there are a few all-rounders.
