Artisle of Different types of camcorders and their benefits

Interlaced still photos have to be processed in a program like Adobe Photoshop to de-interlace them, making a half-sized image without the jagged edges. Progressive scan cameras scan the entire picture for each frame.

Interlaced and progressive MiniDV cameras can use the same kind of tape. This produces a finer image than interlaced scan cameras but typically costs a few hundred dollars more. "Standard" film stocks such as 16mm and 35mm record at 24 frames per second. In the U.S.A. digital video films at 29.97 "frames" per second (on the NTSC system); in Europe, on the PAL system, cameras film at 25 frames per second.

In this case the viewer typically will not notice anything visually, but the audio may "click" or "pop" briefly (for 1/30th of a second) which, oddly enough, typically will be noticed, especially in music. For this reason, it is important to process the video on equipment which can handle it. rovided that the video is retained in the same format (not "recompressed", as often occurs when video is edited for distribution, or compressed with special "lossless" codecs), digital video is a "lossless" format. That is, unlike analog sources, copies can themselves be copied without degradation in quality; a 256th generation copy will be as clear as the original 1st generation footage provided that no frames have been dropped. On some capture cards or on some slower computers, the information being streamed in as the tape is rolling is coming in too fast for the computer to process, and the computer may drop a few frames.

Digital video can also be edited on a personal computer which has the proper hardware (an IEEE 1394 or Firewire card and a fairly fast processor, as well as abundant disk space) and software (Adobe Premiere, iMovie, MGI Videowave, Final Cut Pro, etc.) But if there is a problem that they did not notice, the print of that take is useless, as the film stock cannot be reused. Digital video is a favorite of Independent film, as the cost is much lower. Digital video is also faster to work with in filming, as the results of a take can be viewed instantaneously. Digital video is also used in modern mobile phones and video conferencing systems. Digital video is used exclusively for Internet distribution of media, including streaming video and peer-to-peer movie distribution. For this reason, George Lucas has been using digital film in filming the Star Wars sequels, with digital video assist. Digital video has significantly lower cost then 35mm film, as the tapes can be viewed on location without processing, and can be reused on the spot. For instance, a take of a scene in 35mm would require the full attention of at least the cinematographer and director, and if both of them were happy with the take it would be sent to print mini DV to DVD Transfer.

As of 2004, the highest resolution for a digital video camera is 8 megapixels (3840x2160) at 30 frames per second ("QuadHDTV"). Digital video is used outside movie making. In particular, digital television (including higher quality HDTV) started to spread in most developed countries in early 2000s.

There are many formats for digital video encoding and file containters supporting different levels of quality, resolution, color depth and feature sets.

The highest speed is attained in industrial and scientific high-speed cameras that are capable of filming 1024x1024 video at up to 1 mln frames per second (for very short time, obviously).
