Handycam
Palm-sized video camera
Handycam is Sony's trademark for its line of compact camcorders, introduced in the 1980s.
The name has become somewhat generic for any small handheld video camera: We brought the Handycam to capture the kids' recital.
The format dominated home video recording before smartphones largely displaced dedicated camcorders.
