What's the best budget/business user digital camera for video blogging?

Q. I'm looking to buy a digital camera. I'm a novice at best, but want something with professional looking photos and a good video recording capability (Audio is a must also.) What are your recommendations?
I'm leaning towards the Canon PowerShot Elph 300 HS. Thanks in advance!

A. The Canon 300 HS is a fine choice. If you like it, then stick with it. I'd also suggest going to a nearby camera/electronic store to try out some for yourself though.


What is a good DSLR camera with HD recording for a beginner?
Q. I want an inexpensive camera (around or less than 500$ if possible) that can has all the basic functions of a dslr and has HD video recording. I was thinking of the Nikon D40 but I want guidance from a professional. Thanks

A. you can consider buying Pentax K-x 12.4 MP Digital SLR Camera
# Capture widescreen HD 720p video at 24fps; 2.7-inch LCD with autofocus and Face Detection Live View
# 4.7fps capture rate with 1/6000 sec max shutter speed; 11-point wide-angle autofocus

Could they make a digital camera take pictures and video as good as professional camera?
Q. or a small video camera record as good as an expensive camcorder?
Would it be possible?
No I mean like the sharpness and pixels or what ever.
and like frame rate.

A. It's an interesting question, and in someways I want to answer yes but in others I want to answer no.

The most expensive cameras and camcorders are designed to be adjusted with lenses to suit the needs of the shot. The quality of the glass determines how the camera digests the light quite drastically and they are expensive and heavy because the glass is expertly crafted using the finest necessary materials. There would be no way to reduce the size, weight and cost of these lenses to fit make a camera aimed at the consumer.

Same goes for the sensors - they would need the same high quality glass to do their performance justice.

Things like high ISO capabilities would not be able to be processed by a smaller camera - just yet anyway.

Of course as said previously the person operating the camera can do a lot if they have a good skill. The quality of digital cameras for the consumer gets better every day, but as does the professional grade equipment so I doubt they'd ever merge the two together. The technology is complex, but if they could do it they would have done it already.

Edit:
AH! I completely misread your question I think! Do you mean will they make a still camera that can take video as well as a professional dedicated film camera? Like the previous guy said, the 5D mkII has HD video so they're getting their. Lots of wedding video companies shoot weddings on 5D mkIIs and produce superb results. The only problem is if they misbehave the guests think they are with the photographer and they get a bad rep ;)
