I am trying to decide if I should buy a digital camera or a video camera. What are the differences between the two?

The main difference between a digital camera and a video camera is that a digital camera takes pictures, while a video camera captures moving images. A digital camera uses electronic sensors to capture light from the environment and convert it into an image, whereas a video camera uses a combination of lenses and sensors to capture light and convert it into a moving image. Digital cameras generally have more features than video cameras, such as higher megapixel counts, better low-light performance, faster shutter speeds, and more control over exposure settings. Video cameras usually have fewer features but can record in high definition and offer greater flexibility with audio and video capabilities.
