Avoid the Canon Powershot A620 digital camera
-- Tzortzakakis Dimitrios major in electrical engineering,freelance electrician FH von Iraklion-Kreta, freiberuflicher Elektriker dimtzort AT otenet DOT gr ? "Racer X" ?????? ??? ?????? ... Try using it for what it was designed for. I did. It's designed for still *and* movies. I agree with everyone saying that a still camera is *mainly* intented for still pictures, while a camcorder is mainly designed for movies.So none does both in excellence.My digital still camera (Kodak CX 7300) only takes silent video and worse than an 1981 camcorder, but this never bothers me as it's quite sympathetic even that bad video for my cousins in Canada, to see my sister's fiancee brother playing the piano.For *real*movies I have the 8mm Sony CCD-TR425E pal which is even today excellent.Of course it's no good for overseas relatives since VCRs in USA and Canada don't playback PAL cassetes, I asked'em. |

Cameras like the Nikon 8400 can produce 640 x 480 pixel movies at 30 fps, probably at least as good as your 1981 camcorder, with added benefit of electronic image stabilisation. David |

Some of the newer digital cameras make excellent short videos. You might check out the Kodak C330, which does full motion VGA video an allows many options while shooting. Or go with the P850 which does great stills, and great video. If you don't want to carry both types of camera around, the ability to do good video and stills in one camera is a nice feature. |

David I think you didn't read my post?I say I have a digital camera, Kodak CX 7300, which produces acceptable videos at 640 X 480 @ 30 fps, which is more convenient than buying a standalone DVD recorder or upgrading my PC (again) so that I can burn DVDs....The VHS format has died so no question of making cassetes. |
