best digital camera for video recording 2011 image
Emily
looking for a camera and i came across the options of point and shoot or digital at first i thought that meant the professionally used cameras but when i clicked point and shoot it actually had some of the cheaper priced name brand cameras. is there a difference in picture quality? if so, which takes more professional looking photos?
ALSO do either take movie quality or music video quality video?
Answer
Basic compact cameras that have very limited control options are called point-and-shoot. It's a type of camera. You basically just point the camera to your subject and click the button. Point-and-shoot cameras can either be film based or digital.
Digital refers to the way the picture is saved or stored. Digital cameras use electronics (memory cards or chips) to store the picture instead of using film. Digital cameras can either be point-and-shoot, dSLR, or hybrid.

Picture quality depends on the skill of the photographer. The type of camera used or the way it is saved is of little importance.
Professional is a label given to people who get paid doing what they do. A person can be a professional photographer if he gets paid to take pictures or if the pictures he takes get sold. Whether the pictures are great looking or not is beside the point. Professional basically means money involved.
Movies are just another form of medium just like still photographs. Movies can be shot with film or done electronically. Those that are stored electronically are better referred to as video.
The best camera for getting video is the camcorder. The most high-tech camcorders to date are digital.
The camcorder is a video device. If you want great sound to go with your video, use an equally great sound capturing device or audio recorder. The really good digital camcorders generally have good sound recording too with options to use external microphones for better sound capture.

What are some good underwater cameras?
Bill Jense
I have a price range of no more than $450.
I don't have a camera, so I can't just buy an underwater housing.
When I say underwater camera, what I really mean is scuba diving camera, waterproof to at least 100 ft.
Answer
Latest waterproof cameras are quite good. On very rare occasions they come faulty, but the same is with regular digital cameras.
If you want camera, that makes good quality pictures on land or underwater, then I would suggest to look into these three cameras: Sony TX5, Panasonic Lumix TS2 and Olympus Rough 8010.
And all three of them cost less than $300 on Amazon.
You just need to decide which features you need more:
Sony TX5 is waterproof to 10 ft, when Panasonic TS2 and Olympus Rough 8010 are both waterproof to 33ft. And Sony TX5 has got the lowest resolution from these three. It's just 10.2 megapixels. Panasonic and Olympus have a resolution of 14MP, which is quite a great difference.
All cameras are shock-, dust-, sand- and freeze-proof. But Olympus 8010 is also a crushproof and designed to withstand a weight up to 220 pounds.
Sony TX5 gives you the opportunity to capture panoramic pictures with it's Sweep Panorama feature. Your images are automatically stitched together, which gives you the extra-wide view of the scenery.
Olympus 8010 has got the panoramic shooting option too. It also comes with a built-in 2GB memory, which is more than most cameras available on the market.
Panasonic TS2 has a good quality video recording. Although all these cameras record video in HD format. But Panasonic TS2 seems to be the most expensive out of them.
But if you do not need waterproof camera right now, Sony are releasing a new Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX10 in April 2011. It will have a resolution of impressing 16.2 megapixels. And it is going to be the first waterproof camera that can capture 3D still images. You can pre-order this camera and it costs $330.
