Digital Still Camera

What is the diffrence in video quality in picture or action captured by a digital still camera and a handycam?
I wanna buy a digital camera. I can not decide wheather to buy a handycam or digital still camera. I am interested in taking small video clippings of kids playing or small parties. I am told that the digital still cameras may also take video shots of about half an hour. What is the difference in the video quality of the actions shot by digital still cameras.
If you are going to upload to the web, digital still is convienent because of the small file size and drag-and-drop file capability (always ask people before uploading their likeness/image to the web).
If you want to edit them or output to DVD you’ll definately want a video camera instead.

XZ-1 Digital Camera (Black) $499.99 All New From OlympusX-CEPTIONAL PICTURE QUALITY! X-CELLENT LOW LIGHT PERFORMANCE! X-TREME CREATIVITY!Unleash your creative side with the first-ever Olympus X Series camera. Designed for those who want the quality of an SLR in a high-end point-and-shoot format, this camera provides a new, easy-to-use outlet for artistic expression. With the XZ-1 you’ll capture high-quality still images and HD videos in any shooting environment thanks to its fast, super-bright, built-in Olympus iZuiko® lens and its large, super-sensitive CCD sensor. Fast, SUPER BRIGHT f1.8 iZuiko 4X WIDE LENS The iZuiko f1.8-2.5 6.0-24mm (28-112mm equivalent angle of view in 35mm cameras) digital lens is a newly-developed 4x compact version of the legendary, high-quality ZUIKO Digital lenses featured with Olympus DSLRs. With a minimum aperture of f1.8 at wide-angle and a maximum aperture of f2.5 at telephoto, this lens assures fast shutter speeds for sharp low-light images. This aperture range also allows photographers to take portraits that highlight the subject by defocusing the background, a capability not possible in most compact cameras. The lens is specifically designed for clear, high-quality photographic performance with minimal ghosting or flare. HIGH SENSITIVITY CCD Compared to existing 1/2.33-inch, 14-megapixel CCDs, the light-reception area of each pixel of the 1/1.63-inch, 10-megapixel CCD featured in the XZ-1 has been doubled. Superb, low-noise images can be shot even in dimly lit situations such as night scenes and indoor shots. NEW, 3.0-INCH OLED MONITOR Whether composing still images or HD videos, photographers will appreciate the XZ-1′s sharp 3.0-inch OLED monitor to frame and show off still images and High Definition (HD) movies in detailed 720p. The LCD displays 610,000 dots in vivid color, reproduces colors and shades more accurately with deeper black tones, and consumes less power. The monitor also provides a wide viewing angle ensuring that images can be composed from even the most obscure angles. Advanced manual controls The XZ-1 offers advanced manual controls that experienced photographers expect from larger digital SLR cameras. But, with the XZ-1, advanced features are easy to use. A control ring around the front of the lens and the wheel controller on the back provide immediate access to the most important manual settings like ISO, aperture and shutter speed to make it easy to adjust the camera on the move. LOW-LIGHT PERFORMANCE The XZ-1 has an easily accessible built-in pop-up flash to illuminate low-light subjects, reduce red-eye and fill in dark areas. The camera also features an AF illuminator to make it simple to focus in low-light situations. Additionally, Dual Image Stabilization further assures you’ll get the shot you want while holding the camera: Mechanical Sensor-Shift Image Stabilization compensates for camera movement in low-light conditions when shutter speeds are slower while Digital Image Stabilization freezes the action with high |
