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. Digital cameras typically have higher resolution than their video counterparts, as well as other features such as automatic exposure control, manual controls for focus and aperture, and advanced image processing algorithms. Video cameras on the other hand usually offer more flexibility in terms of shooting options, such as different frame rates, resolutions, and aspect ratios. Additionally, some video cameras also feature high-quality lenses with wide apertures, making them ideal for capturing bright, crisp images.
