How do movies from a digital camera compare to ones from a camcorder?
In terms of resolution, digital cameras can offer comparable or better resolution than most camcorders. However, there are other factors which digital cameras don’t do nearly as well. Camcorders are specialized at recording movies and generally will perform this task much better than digital cameras. Camcorders’ biggest advantage is that they can record much longer movies with better sound. For more information, see Digital Camera Movies.
