Should I get a real camera or camcorder for college or keep using my phone?

Q. I've mostly just used my android phone for taking pictures and the quality is pretty good. I'm going to college after this summer and I'm wondering should I get a real camera to take lots of pictures? I'm also planning to do some filming so would you recommend me to just use a regular digital camera to film or to consider getting a camcorder. Personally, I've used to have a camcorder before and really didn't like it because you had to finish filming everything and then finalize whereas with a regular digital camera, I could just film and take out clips into my computer. Any ideas?

A. You had to "finish filming everything and then finalize" because you had a DVD camcorder. A DVD camcorder is the only kind of camcorder that needs that!*

DVD, mini-DV tape and hard drive cameras are obsolescent, and analog tape camcorders are already obsolete. On today's camcorders, the videos are recorded on flash memory and you DO "just film and take out clips into your computer" just like you do on a still digital camera or a phone camera.

Most consumer/prosumer models with removable memory (some have built-in and that's it) use SDHC or SDXC cards (Sony still likes its "Memory Sticks"). You either hook the camcorder up to the computer's USB port, or on some computers (mainly laptops) you can plug the flash memory card itself right into a slot on the computer.

If you want to make some serious video, then consider a dedicated camcorder or the video capabilities of a DSLR. On a separate camera, you can get optical zoom (optical zoom actually magnifies the image by using a lens with moving elements; digital zoom loses resolution by just cropping the fixed-lens image and stretching it out by duplicating the pixels), a better microphone, better low-light sensitivity, etc. And a DSLR would give you even better low-light sensitivity and interchangeable lenses (but generally a poor microphone).

But all that being said -- your phone is probably adequate for taking snapshot pictures and for casual videography.

*(although tape-based camcorders do have an extra step known as capture [or ingest] to get the footage off the tape into a computer, the tapes can still be played without finalizing or capture/ingest)


What mp4 converter do you recommend to transfer DVD to Android phone?
Q. I have a DVD disc for my business that I would like to burn to my Android phone so I can show clients. I believe on Android devices I have to convert the video to an mp4 (not totally sure).
