How Many Pixels Do Modern Digital Mini-Disc Camcorders Use?


Question: I have a Hi-8 (tape) digital camcorder. I sometimes convert some of the tape's images into jpg photos. The images tape lets me produce images that are 640 pixels by 480 pixels.

The camcorder is about 6 years old.

How many pixels do modern camcorders (such as mini-DVD) use?
Answers: DV camcorder will also give you the same 640 x 480 resolution if you are capturing the photo from a video. These camcorders also let you take still pictures and sometimes record in internal memory and sometimes in a separate memory card. The size of these still pictures vary (starts from 640x480 and goes upto 1600x1200.) Some panasonic MiniDV camcorders have upto 3 million pixels for photos.

The reason why the resolution is 640x480 for still images from video is that the video is not recorded in pixels, instead it uses lines.
better ones go up to 3M pixels, (approx 1500 x 2000)
