Camcorders are as good as digital cameras?
Do camcorders offer high resolution photos as digital cameras do? I think the optical zoom feature of camcorders are very high (18-20X) compared to digital cameras …. but I do not know not how the range of Megapixel images taken with a Camcorder … please help!
resolution of a standard definition Camera Mini Dv Camera (camcorder) is 720 x 480. It is far from the resolution of most consumer grade digital cameras. For example, a camera 6 megapixels offers a resolution of about 3000 x 2000. If you want to take still pictures using a camera. Use the right tool for work. Digital zoom is only a reduction of the image. It blows an image. Therefore the resolution drops. You're better off taking a High resolution image and then reduce it to a computer so you still have the image full size after pressing it. Digital zoom totally worthless for capturing a high resolution and high detail. By definition, a digital zoom reduces the resolution (Accuracy) of an image.
