A couple of years ago the most advanced consumer camcorders could capture only standard definition video (SD) encoding it with MPEG4 ASP codec. So a "MPEG4 camcorder" at that time could do only one thing - record MPEG-4 ASP standard definition video (SD). Much has changed since that time. Some camcorders can now encode video with better MPEG4 AVC (H.264) codecs. There have appeared camcorders that can capture HD (High Definition) video. So it's not enough to just say a "MPEG4 camcorder" - you have to specify video resolution and codec.
