It is a bit of a mistake to try to get one camera for both jobs but it
depends how serious
you are with each task.
Most modern digital still cameras will take short lo-res clips (my
Nikon Coolpix 5000
takes 1 minute of 30fps video but only at about 320x240 or whatever).
Similar story in
reverse for most DV cameras.
However I am becoming a camera junkie and read a review recently on the
Fuji Finepix M603. It is a 6.03 megapixel camera which can take
30-second clips
of TV-screen sized 640 x 480 at 30fps. RRP 2 grand. I can't vouch for
the optics but
Fujis review consistently well lately. Its 2x digital zoom is a bit on
the light side these
days (contrast with the similarly priced Nikon Coolpix 5700, 5
megapixel still camera
with 8x (optical) zoom.
Check out www.fujifilm.com.au
Personally I am a confirmed Nikon man, all the eye surgery community I
talk to
online use the Coolpix for work.
It really depends whether your partner is going tomake movies with it
in which case
I would seriously consider 2 cameras.
Good luck,

Hi all,
I am stuck with choosing a camera.
What I need as a minimum is to be able to take still photos of a good
quality of PCB images (to show mods that I make to people over seas)
and to
take general photos.
I have looked around, and I seem to be ushered by many people to
Panasonic
(good brand, and reasonably reliable)
Now the hard part, My Partner is studying Digital Media at ECU. She is
asking me to make it a DV camera.
So the options I see :
I have selected between 2 Still cameras and 3 DV Cameras here are the
models
:
Still :
LC40A
LC5A
DV Cameras :
NV-GX7
NV-G55A
NV-DS50A
Any Advice is well welcomed, even if someone says a different brand, I
am a
computer Junky, but I know squat about Cameras lol.
Regards,
Kat.
