A digital camcorder makes better videos and has an optical zoom of at least 10, sometimes greater. The video capacity will be greater because the video is stored on a MiniDV tape, DVD or Hard Drive. Also, the audio will be better from a camcorder, and usually in stereo, due to a better microphone and recording technique. Most digital camcorders will also take still pictures, but the lack of a flash or shutter adjustments will limit the quality of the stills.

So, you have to decide which is more important. Great still shots and an occasional video of lesser quality, or great video and an occasional still shot of lesser quality. If both are important, get a digital camera for the stills (Canon Powershot's are excellent) and a camcorder for the videos (Sony and Panasonic are good ones).

well nainesh, Video is actually a series of individual pictures, or "frames". The standard for the US is 29.97 frames per second (fps). That is sometimes referred to as 30 fps. That means that for each second of video, there will be thirty individual frames. It has nothing to do with how long the video itself is, just how many frames you will have per second of video. If you are going to edit the video, or upload it to YouTube, 30 fps will be fine.
