Camcorders Vs Digital Cameras
HDD Camcorders vs Digital Cameras?
I noticed that I can get a digital camera with 13.6 Megapixels for about $150 and I can get a HDD Camcorder with 30 GB HDD space and 2.0 Megapixels for $140. I want to know, are megapixels calculated differently for video and images? Will I get good quality pictures and videos with a 2.0 Megapixel 30 GB HDD Camcorder? Will it be as good as a 13.6 Megapixel Digital Camera?
Photos on a camcorder won’t be good as photos on a still camera.
Video on a still camera won’t be as good as videos on a camcorder.
In short, you have to figure out which is more important to you. Camcorders have fewer pixels because video has fewer pixels. Even the highest-resolution HDTV (1080 lines) is 1920×1080, or about 2 megapixels. Camcorders will have fewer pixels because more pixels are unnecessary, and would actually decrease the quality of the video. By packing more pixels into that small space, the pixels have to be smaller, and they won’t perform as well. That’s why you’ll typically have relatively few pixels on a camcorder.
So, if you get the digital still camera, you’ll get better quality photos, but the video will be mediocre. If you get the camcorder, the video will be better, but the photos will be mediocre.
Which is more important to you, photo or video? That’s what your decision will likely come down to.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
