What is the difference between these digital camera formats?

What video format for compact digital camera - AVI or MP4?

  • I am buying a compact digital camera for a teenager who wants to use it for both photos and videos. I see that some cameras create videos in AVI format while others create MP4 format. Is there any significant difference between these formats? Are there any compatibility issues that I should be aware of? Would it make any difference whether I am downloading to a Windows or Apple operating system? Thanks!

  • Answer:

    Both are major video formats. So, there is a plethora of software that will convert either one to any desired format. These formats should not be a deal breaker for any camera.
