Should I buy a digital DVD camcorder or a digital camera?

I wanted to buy a SONY Cyber-shot digital camera (7.2 megapixels) for a long time. Not only did I wnat great image quality, but I wanted to capture movies too. Now I'm confused. Camcorders capture still images too and of course, videos. Which one should I buy? I want a functional, easy to use and affordable thing I can take to school sometimes as well.

Camcorders do a lousy job of capturing still images. No matter what the marketing specs of the camcorder say, you will always get better still images from a digital still camera. If your primary reason for wanting a camera is to take photos, get a still camera that also takes video.

On the flip side of this, digital still cameras tend to take reasonably good video in addition to shooting great still photos.

Whatever you do, don't buy a DVD camcorder. They are a nightmare to use if you ever want to edit the footage on your computer. Tape-based camcorders or camcorders that use flash memory will provide a better editing experience. Here's a partial list of some of the frustrations with DVD camcorders:
