Digital Camcorder vs. Digital Camera This may sound really dumb but about 1-1/2 ago we bought this digital handheld (very tiny) Canon camcorder...we used it maybe 2x...it has th eability to record on a little cassete or on a card?? and can take still frame photos...am I able to upload this to a computer and post it or do I have to buy s digital camera for that??..Basically in essence what I am asking is....do I need a digital camera or is the camcorder peforming the same function??? |
i think if you can take stills, you probably are all set!! |
I'm sure if you can take stills it's the same as a picture. :) |
Since it is a Cannon is should be doing the same function in regard to stills as the regular digital camera would. You can upload to the computer just like with the camera so in my opinion no, you don't also need a digital camera unless you want one that performs more special functions besides what your camcorder offers. |
Okay dumb question #2 ...... how exactly do I upload into the computer??..do I buy a special connection for that...sorry I am technologically dumb!!! |

He-he....I got that but what kind of a connection ....like a USB, a cable, an adapter....explain!!!!.. :) |
LOL...it depends on the computer type and the camera/camcorder type...I would say defintely a USB cord of some sort...Okay I am really no help, I am just about as naive about this as you!!! |
I am like so behind technology wise...it is sooo depressing...lol, I have a dell computer that is about 7 months old.....and a canon handheld...if anyone has any idea please..... |
ur cam should have come with a cable to be able to upload it to ur pc. i think its a usb. i have a dell pc at home so bring what u have then we can figure it out on sat :) |
Your video camera should have come w/ a USB cable and software. Install the software and then connect the cable to both the computer and the video camera. |
I think it came with lots of stuff.....lol, I threw all the equpiment in the same drawre as the road runner stuff, and any other cords I have...lol, we only used it like 2x and that was MONTHS ago...or maybe even a year-1/2 ago when we got it...lol, I will pull everything out tonight..yesterdays mission was just finding the charger...lol!!! |
If you are unsure maybe there is a custumer service number you can call and maybe they can help you out... Good luck |
