DVandDP

There are good sites on Digital Videos and there are good sites on Digital Photography but there seems to be little interests on have DV and DP combined.

While strictly speaking, DV and DP should be differentiated since DV is more about Motion and Audio and DP is about still.

With DV, the action is exciting. With DP, I can take my time to browse and enjoy the photo.

But if I want to do both, what do I buy ? A DV cam with still capture ability or a DP cam with video capability.

Physics is the limitation. A system designed for Video capture is not suitable for capturing the details of a still. There are compromises to be made. So if you really are for video, go buy a proper DV cam. If your need is for still, go for a really good Digital Camera.

But what if I am 80% still and 20% motion ? Which one should I pick?

It is greyed needs like this that make our lives interesting or difficult.

I attempt to look at some DV and DC and shared my experience.
