Answer
Since you didn't give us any examples (model numbers) here it goes.

Camera ... generic. Any light tight box with a lens that can expose film, either still or motion. Recently this includes video cameras and digital cameras

Video camera. What they use at television stations, sports venues ... sometimes they can weigh over a ton and are attached to a control room via a cable which carries video, audio feed as well as a separate duplex audio connection so the director can talk to the operator to call "shots".

Video recorder. Most common is the VCR (VHS), but include broadcast quality beta max and even 2" tape recorders.

Camcorder. A handheld video camera which has a built-in recording system (tape, hard drive, CD, DVD or memory card)

What's the best digital camera/video recorder out there?

hi :) i'd like to know what do you think is the best type? a digital camera that can take pictures and videos.. right now i have a Fujifilm one i've had for a while, it's actually alright but i want to get a better one.

if you have ever seen any korean music videos i like the quality of their videos:)
the one on my current camera is kinda blunt compared to that.
i know they probably use professional video cameras but still that's ok as long as i can somehow transfer my things to a computer or laptop...
i'd like to know if you can share any type of information you know that could help... :)

the price doesn't matter.. thank you in advance :)



Answer
You are actually correct in your assumption. Those Korean videos look great because they are using the professional Cameras and expensive lenses. Although Lighting plays a big role on the outcome of your videos as well. I think you've noticed on your still cam that pictures come out better when shooting in daylight than when you are shooting indoors. This is the same as with a Video Cam. Another difference maker is the type of lens used.

Mom recently bought a Sony HD CamCorder and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the video it takes. Granted that its not as good as the professional ones, but its better than most I've used so far.

Anyway, just ask me if you need more clarification - Kuya
