best digital camera for video recording photography image
Tom M
My buddy says that the higher the megapixel a digital camera has, the better quality video it takes. I was not sure how true that statement was. Can anybody clear this up for me?
Answer
No its totally different.
To keep it simple.
Digital still cameras were designed to take still pictures, or still photography. Here they use the term Megapixels for the capability(number of sensor elements) of the camera to capture data of an image taken. The bigger or higher megapixels, the better or higher amount of data recorded.
This doesn't mean that the image is good right away. It just means that your digital still camera is capable of capturing such and such amount of data. There are several factors that contribute to a "good quality image"; lens is a big factor.
Now having said that, the manufacturers of these still cameras decided to thrown in a little feature called video recording with optional audio for some.
You have to remember that the first digital cameras, Sony Mavica were based on video technology. They were actually considered digital video cameras that shot still images and stored them in floppy disks.
Now even though having internal organs capable of recording videos, our digital still cameras were designed to record still images.
The factors that would ensure quality video images are the sizes and the number of CCD's (Charged Coupled Device usually 3, thus the term 3CCD) and The bigger the CCD that is used, the better the color and image quality of the video. The bigger the hole in your wallet would be. The lens is also a big factor. For digital, its also compression; avi., mov. and now MPeg4.
With respect to the manufacturers of our digital cameras, the quality of the video that they capture is quite good. Many of the point and shoots have better video quality than our old video 8 or hi-8 cameras.
a 1GB SD card will hold about 14 mins of TV quality video.
I hope this helps Bud.

Hello,
what is the best digital camera for recording an artsy film looking music video on a budget of 450.00
Answer
Really there is no dSLR that is designed to record music the way it needs to be recorded, 20-20kHz.
Entry level camera with a video feature are mono only audio input and to get the best recording levels, You need to buy a separate microphone as well
Here is what a dSLR looks like when outfitted with all the accessories needed to shoot video with sound.

Just the stereo audio component will use up your whole budget.
The guys that used to shoot music video in our studio used real video cameras like the Panansonic P2 series cameras.

You may want to rethink your project and rent the correct tool for the job of creating a music video and see if you can get hired as part of the crew on a music video production to learn exactly how one is made, from writing the script to final edit and what costs are involved
NOTE: Photoshop CS5 is a still photography retouching program. You will need something like Adobe Premiere Pro to edit video
