The digital cameras are physically smaller than the camcorders of any type, and they hold differently. That's your call as to the importance of size and holding position. Generally, the camcorders take photos as a secondary feature on a memory stick. The memory sticks are not as large capacity as the largest camera memory cards, but they can be quite large regardless. Generally, cameras take low grade film footage and record it as a movie on the memory card. The quality is e-mail type normally. And, as memory capacity has increased, so has the capacity of both units. I have noticed that our digital camcorder tends to stay in the bag except for long sessions. Otherwise, we use our digital camera, and record those few seconds of footage of interesting things on it. Features I look for, and have learned to look for. #1 Lag time between pushing the shutter and when the picture is taken. #2 Pixal count. I find 3x does just fine on snap shot sized pictures. 5x is visibly better, but just barely. For portrates, you need 5x minimum I'd say. #3 Optical zoom. Ignore digital zoom, it's lousy. What's the lens capable of. #4 Conventional memory. Nothing like having a one off memory stick that's incompatable with everything. Things like night vision and such are gimics to me. I really never use them. Now if you do a lot of night shots while coon hunting, they're nice. So judge your own application.
