Digital camera or Camcorder?

Which one do u think is the best and why?

jimkonow · 04-28-2008, 11:06 AM

digital camera...they can capture still images and video at a more effective cost than camcorders can. also, some cameras have special shooting modes, like Fireworks and Red Eye Removal.

but the digitla camera wont record videos as much as a video camera rite? That is where i have confused..wen i go to birtheday parties it is important to take videos... in it? So for that kind of situation a video cameara would be suitable rite?

They are two different things.

A digital camera is made to take pictures and low quality movies (optionally).
A camcorder is made to make movies and take low quality pictures (optionally).

Yup, both have their pros and cons. It just depends what you do more of: video or photo.

It's just as Punk said, but if you were asking me to choose between a D-SLR (Pro) camera and a pro camcorder I would DEFINITELY choose the D-SLR camera.

Some video cameras do support 8MP still photos.

This isn't a question that has a correct answer. For me, I take many more photos then I do videos, however others may take more videos.

If all you do is take a few short videos, then get a digital camera that can record videos at 640x480 @ 30FPS.

I'd get a good camera.
