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 and a video camera is the way they capture images and videos. Digital cameras use an image sensor, which converts light into electrical signals that can be stored in memory cards, while video cameras use a charge-coupled device (CCD) chip to capture images. Video cameras also have more advanced features such as manual focus and zoom capabilities, while digital cameras tend to be simpler with fewer settings. Additionally, digital cameras typically take higher quality photos than video cameras.
