3) If you compare digital & a video handy cam what are the pros & cons in each
4) Can video clips be taken on a digital camera also ? If so what would be the difference in the production with a video handy cam ?
5) Which brand of digi cam do u suggest ?
6) Can pictures from a computer be down loaded to a digital cam ?
7) I am interested in knowing more about the digital cam as I am interested in photography & intend to buy one
The most important specification is how you intend to use a camera. Think about what you want to do and then match cameras to your needs.
These are some camera features you will be shown:
Resolution: makes a difference in how big you can print clear pics – 4 mp for 5×7, 5-6 mp for 8×10, 7 & up for bigger. If you want to print big, or crop out small portions and enlarge big, more mp’s are useful. One downside of more mp’s is that it takes proportionally more hard drive and memory card space to store the pictures.
Zoom: Most come with 3x zoom (make the pic appear 3 times closer). If you want to shoot from far away, you need a bigger zoom (up to 12x now) and image stabilization.
Screen size: Bigger is more convenient, but none are great. Most are difficult to see outside on sunny days. Pick what seems nice to you.
Video: Many digicams take video clips, but they are meant for short clips. The clips use up memory card space very quickly, especially at higher quality settings.
Camcorders take longer and usually better movies, but are mediocre at still pics.
Buy either for what they are good at.
Brand: My family is happy with Canon or Sony (but there are many different models of each).
Download to digicam: Although computers can write on the camera’s memory card (download), usually the format cannot be read by the camera. So, no (Why would you want to?)
Learning: Look on the web for camera sites. they have lots of detailed reviews, forums, and tutorials.
Don’t take reviews too seriously. The ones by pros are very picky and overly critical.
Look for a camera that meets your needs now, feels good in your hands and meets your budget. Touch and feel lots of different ones; they are different. Most will perform well technically, so look for one that you “like” and will enjoy using (a useful “toy”).
Enjoy!
