Q. i need to know if 1.5 megapixels in a HIGH DEFINITION camcorder enough for good quality? i just bought a hd camcorder and im not sure if this is going to give me good quality. I googled some sites says megapixels have nothing to do with video quality, it only matters on digital photos, and some sites say vice versa. Please give me a straightforward answer without being to technical lol
ithank you
ithank you
A. Yes, the number of pixels does influence video quality (and photo quality as well).
For best quality, the camcorder needs to have at least as many pixels in its sensor as the image will have on the screen, and if it has a bit more, that can help.
For 1280x720 HD video, the camera needs to have at least 1 megapixel. For 1920x1080 HD video, it needs to have at least 2.1 megapixels. For the best results, it should have a bit more pixels than these minimums�the more, the better, although very large amounts of pixels don't really make much difference beyond a certain point. A camcorder with 4 megapixels might produce somewhat "cleaner" video than one with 2 megapixels, but the difference between 2 and 4 is a lot bigger than the difference between 4 and 6, so beyond a certain point it doesn't improve any further.
Since photos don't move and video does, high resolution and high pixels are more important for photos than for video, because you look at the photos more closely. Two megapixels is fine for video, but it isn't very sharp for photos, and most photo cameras have 12 megapixels or more. In addition, the number of pixels in video is fixed by the size of the screen, so large numbers of pixels don't mean much, but photos can be viewed or printed on any size of screen, so the more pixels, the better.

Nikon D90 Video Quality compared to Camcorder?
Q. Well I'm confused right now..I want to buy the Nikon D90 not only for the video but for taking pictures too..I am selling a Canon XS brand new in order to get the Nikon D90 but I'm debating if I should keep my Canon and get a camcorder..problem is, I did not find any camcorder that has the same video quality as what the D90 has...Does anyone know which camcorder has the same video quality? If you are curious youtube "Nikon D90 Video" Make sure you check the ones with HD quality..thanks
A. You seem to have been mistaken somehow about the vidoe capabilities of various camcorders. Almost all the new camcorders have better video quality than the D90. Youtube is not the place to compare video qualities !
If you want to capture videos, get a camcorder.
The only advantage I find in D90 is the absence of disk or cassette sounds (which are commonly heard in lower end camcorders). Most of the HD camcorders are otherwise better than D90.
