Topic: digital camera (Page 1 of 1)

Hi, all! How are you? Happy Monday?

Well, I am just looking for info about digital camera as I want to know about it more. I found a good web site: http://www.digital-camerastore.com/digitalinfo3a.htm
I got a lot of basic idea of it.

What I want to tell you is that we can use digital camera as movie record tool! Am I right? Actually I still cannot believe what I read on that page. Please see here: http://www.digital-camerastore.com/compare_cameras_5.htm#
You will find a comparison chart. It said to me a lot about movie record.

Do you actually use that fanction for web? If so, can I compress movie file as well?

Hey Hiroki...you're going ot get the pest info on cameras down where the photographers reside, in the photography forum, which is where this is going.

Oh, sorry.

most digital cameras can record short movies, but this is not their primary function.

that is, it is not what it is made to do - hence, it does not do it well.

as you can see by the chart, there are many limitations on video recording - many only record for about 1 minute, and some have poor - or no - audio.

once you have the movie file, compression is now a software issue (that is, it's now on your pc, so if you have the program to compress it properly, than you're sitting pretty).

there are, however, many digital video cameras on the market too - look at these, if that's what you're more interested in.

Thanks for your words, reitsma.
Well, I just wanted to know about digital camera more as I will take a photo using it for my site.
You said it didn't support movie well, right? But I'd love to see how it look like.
I will ask my friends who has got one.
Thanks a lot.
Cheers.
