Are camcorders as good as digital cameras?
Do camcorders offer high resolution photos just as digital cameras do? I find that the optical zoom feature of camcorders are very high(18-20X) compared to digital cameras….but I dunno how the megapixel range of photos taken using a camcorder…please help!
the resolution of a standard definition mini dv camera (camcorder) is 720 x 480. This is far below the resolution of most consumer grade digital still cameras. For example, a 6 megapixel camera has a resolution of roughly 3000 x 2000.
If you want to take still images, use a still camera. Use the right tool for the job.
Digital zoom is only a scaling of the image. It blows up an image. Therefore the resolution drops. You are better off to take a high resolution image, and then scale it on a computer so you still have the full size image after you push into it.
Digital zooms are quite worthless for capturing a high detailed or high resolution image. By definition, a digital zoom reduces the resolution (clarity) of an image.
