I haven't even thought about video since I used an early B&W Sony video camera in the early seventies when I would be connected by umbilical to a colleague who was carrying the battery pack. But I'm about to go on a decent holiday for the first time in ages and have been considering acquiring a video camera.
My main question revolves around resolution. I did recently visit a local store and asked the in-store dork about the resolution capabilities of the various cameras on display as very few information cards gave this information. He shrugged his shoulders and muttered something about the resolution only mattering if I was to take still shots with them :bonk:
So, can anyone help me here? Is there a decent online resource which can give meaningful comparisons between current models. I think I want to go with a 'name' - probably Canon. I think I want a DVD recorder cam. Other than that, I want something half decent so I don't have the urge to upgrade next year.
How important is the resolution (MPs) figures with video?
