web cam corder
This doesn't exactly fit the standard definition of retronym: a name which includes adjectives when none were needed because there were no alternatives. Examples would be acoustic guitar or analog watch. The web camcorder example would be more like electric guitar or digital watch. A possible double retronym might be analog pocket watch.
