What is better digital cameras or pocket camcorders?

canon digital camera zoom image

Jake

I am looking to buy a new digital camera or pocket camcorder to take videos of bands play at concerts(loud!). I have heard that pocket camcorders are not as good as digital cameras with zoom and quality of video. Which is better and what are some good pocket camcorders and digital cameras to look into purchasing?

Answer
I would suggest Canon PowerShot SD780IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.5-inch LCD with HD movie shooting capability plus HDMI output.

What is the difference between these two canon cameras?

Canon PowerShot A550 7.1MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom

Canon PowerShot A570IS 7.1MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom


they both have 7.1mp and 4x optical zoom except the a570 has image stabilized zoom so is that the only difference? i'm trying to figure out if that's the only thing because that one is $20 more.

thanks!

Answer
Looks like the A570IS Has A bigger LCD Display
(2.5" vs. 2"), Supports up-to ISO 1600, Has 7 more Scene Modes, and Weighs a bit more, but is smaller in size than the A550.

Biggest reason to get the A570 over the A550 is the image stabilization. Especially with extended zoom, where camera shake is more noticeable.

For $20, nothing to think about. Go with the A570 IS.
