Blurry digital camcorder?

Which is better to buy still digital camera or digital camcorder?

• Which is better to buy?Still digital camera or digital camcorder?Both have almost same price.But camcorder can capture still images and also video with resonable resolution. in the other side still digital camer can only capture still images with also resonable resloution,even if the resolution is better like (8Mpixel) I will never use this resoultion because the image size will be very big which is not good for me.

• Answer:

  Its not fair to compare the photo taken from a still camera with those taken with a digital camcorder. They made for different purposes. Normally speaking, the CCD (light sensor) that came with camcorder only have to handle resolution of 720X480 pixel for NTSC video or 1024X768 for NTSC High-def. But for digital camera, the higher the resolution, the more detail of the still images. Its a lot easier for a digital camera to downsize the resolution for video than a camcorder to up-size its resolution for still images. Back to your question. If the still image size is not a concern for you at all (we are talking about 1-2MPixel here at most). Go for a camcorder, it produce much better video for you than a digital camera can. Most of the digital camera has only limited video features and you can't store much video in a digital camera. Some won't even allow you to zoom when in video mode. But of course, its better to take still image with a camera and take video with camcorder. After-all, that's what they're made for.
