Etymology

The term 'minicam' is a blend of 'miniature' and 'camera', indicating its small size relative to traditional cameras. The concept of miniaturized photography emerged in the mid-20th century as technology advanced, allowing for the production of smaller cameras. Initially, these compact devices were primarily utilized for specific genres of filming, such as documentary and covert operations, due to their size and capability to capture high-quality footage in discreet settings. As technology evolved through the late 20th and early 21st centuries, the design and functionality of minicams improved, leading to widespread use in various fields, including consumer electronics, security, and mobile journalism. The availability of lightweight materials and digital technology enabled even smaller designs, making minicams popular among videographers and content creators seeking an unobtrusive way to capture video.
