best point and shoot camera for video recording image
Baja_Sessi
I am in the market for a camera that does good video. I guess I am trying to figure out why anyone would purchase a camcorder when for about the same price they could purchase a high zoom point and shoot camera (that does video and takes great still shots). Just wondering if I am missing something. . . I mean if they both shoot 1080p video and both have a 30x optical zoom wouldn't they be the same from a video standpoint?
Answer
It's a good question, and the answer lies partly in the handling and partly in the quality of the results.
Under handling the PS camera lacks the very useful adjustable angle viewfinder, and also generally lacks control over the sound recording - sometimes it is only mono sound. The noise of the zoom motor may be picked up by the microphone. Another feature is that video shooting may be very hard on battery life. Camcorder batteries are generally rather bigger than PS camera batteries.
Under quality there is the issue of the codecs used for compressing the vast amounts of data that video shooting entails. One may find non-standard frame rates or other awkwardnesses to edit.

which point and shoot digital camera has face detection available in the video recording mode?

I have seen face detection as a standard on many new generation cameras but it usually is available only in the photo recording mode and not in the movie recording mode.
I am looking for a point and shoot digital camera that has face detection available in the movie mode. Can someone please help?
Answer
None that I know of. I don't even know of any digital cameras that will zoom or change focus during video recording. They aren't camcorders.
