Thanks, but why do people then buy camcorders?


The answer is, they don’t. Most people are now shooting video on their new generation cell phones.

Did you realize that a lot of movie quality video is done with SLR Cameras? The cinematic quality of the new breed of SLRs far exceeds what you can get with even a high end video camera.

There is definitely a merger of the three techs—where you would have your cell phone, a video camera, and a digital still camera—now you just need one.

Go to a best buy or similar type big box retail store and look at what is available. And THINK about what you are planning to shoot—and how you are going to watch it.

I was a professional sports photographer for years. I always thought photos on the wall were better than video—because it did not force you to sit and watch it. You could always look up and recall that memory. But to each his own.

Keep an open mind and try a few different things before settling on a particular type of equipment.

Yup.

I have two of the old ones sitting on a shelf in the bedroom closet.

I see SLR = single-lens reflex. Such info is why i asked FReepers.

Yes, those SLRs are more expensive, but it all depends what level we need.
