Subject: RE: Tech: Megapixels
Has anyone got any recomendations regarding the use of a digital camcorder versus using just a digital still camera to capture images? It seems that the prices are dropping on these too and that the added features of one of these little marvels might be worth while. Many say that you can take still images with these as well and many of the still cameras seem to have a movie mode incorporated in them. It seems they are each trying to be both. Wouldn't it be wise to consider a digital movie camera that could also take still images? They are now getting quite managable in size, have reasonably good features, resolution, and the view screens are plenty large by comparison to those available on most digital still cameras. Can one get the same quality as in a still camera? If so, why not spend the money to also have the more formidable video/audio features they offer?
