Recording time internal memory (minutes)
The amount of footage at the highest quality setting you can store on the built-in memory, in minutes.
Copy video onto memory card option
Some models allow you to copyvideo onto the memory card, from the main recording media, such as the hard disk or internal flash memory
Optical zoom
The higher the number, the more you can zoom in. 10 means 10 times magnification. Optical zoom usually ranges from 10 times to 40 times.
Lens cover
Tethered means it is attached with "string", built-in slider usually means you move a lever to cover/remove the lens cover, or it opens automatically.
Lens converter possible
A lens converter fitting allows you to attach a wide angle or telephoto converter lens
Image stabilisation system
Optical stabilisers use a small mechanical adjustment to compensate for trembling motions; electronic stabilisation uses a digital adjustment, which is not always as effective.
