When a camcorder can shoot still images, how good is the picture quality? |
I have a Fuji F10 digital camera, which in my opinion takes great pictures. If I purchase a camcorder that can also take still images, will the quality of those still images even come close to my Fuji? Normally, digital cameras would shoot stills much better than vcam as these are really designed for pictures. not really the best picture i have seen is using a canon hd camcorder which costs 2,200 pounds sterling. and even still the picture was a little blurry and distorted. maybe buy a mintiture video camera like some that vivitar have or buy a seperate video camera From what I have seen with my Samsung DVD Camcorder, not good at all. Use digital camera, even the low end ones will fare much better. The auto settings on a camcorder are for 1/30 sec shutter which is what is used for video. also the CCDs are optimized for 480x720 images. That is not a "square" pixel size, so the still image has to be interpolated to get 480x640. Most videocameras are not easy to set manual adjustments that you take for granted on a still camera. And then there is the flash, most camcorders don't have them. So it is not likely you would be able to find a camcorder that ever makes a picture as good as the Fuji. |

Have you tried with a different cable as that one may be faulty? Could you take the memory card out and put it straight into the computer (if it has the relevant port)? I'm not sure but ... The Fujifilm model stands out as the worse by having a slower lens and a smaller sensor (probably because of its longer optical zoom), so, unless you need that much zoom, I'd definitely choose... If your camera is under a year old, Fujifilm will replace the sensor for you. Call their help line and get further instructions. ...Not that great according to cnet ... I don't own this camera - but here are links to some owner reviews/comments: ... Fuji is an excellent brand for digital cameras (in fact, many professional portrait photgraphers swear by their Finepix S2 and S3 models). As for the S5700 in particular, I haven't heard anyt... See if you can find a memory card that already has pictures on it. If you can view those pictures or the camera menu, your screen is fine and the problem is most likely with the ccd (image sensor)... The S2 has a much larger sensor and uses the world famous Nikon lens system ... |
