Although many still cameras can take good quality video, the sound quality
isn't always great, you get a lot of wind and 'finger' noise and zooming
may
be noisy or may even be disabled. They generally don't work well in low
light either. You'll also need quite a few high capacity memory cards.
The still resolution is normally limited in video cameras, so you takes
your
choice.
