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

The primary difference between a digital camera and a video camera is the format of the images they capture. Digital cameras typically take pictures that are stored as digital files, while video cameras record moving images onto tape or other media. Video cameras also tend to have higher resolution capabilities than digital cameras. Additionally, some digital cameras offer features such as slow motion and time-lapse recording which aren't available on most video cameras.
