With An Olympus Digital Camera, Video As Well As Still Photography Can Be At Your Command

With an Olympus digital camera, video is usually an extra option, even if only in a very limited way. Most of the Olympus range can shoot short Quicktime movies, albeit with no sound. The better cameras in the range are capable of shooting AVI video, complete with sound, and represent an alternative to the standard video camera. The best cameras in the Olympus range allow the user to use two different quality modes, which may be important as the cameras use the xD picture cards, which are significantly more expensive than competing types.

The biggest question you always need to ask when investing in new technology is exactly what you will you will be using it for, and in what conditions. In the case of a camera which can also shoot video, you need to compare this possibility with the alternative, which is to buy a separate dedicated video camera, and an all purpose stills camera. Which will be the right choice for you will depend on several factors. Firstly, how serious you are at producing the very best result, and how much money you are prepared to spend to achieve this.

If your budget is high enough, you are certain to achieve better results with dedicated equipment. The top of the range models are built to do one job extremely well, although they may still have the capability to do other things as well. If you have a far greater interest in one type of work than the other, then separates are again likely to prove to be the best answer. By having separates, you can make sure that your budget goes mainly into the area which is of greatest interest. If your main interest is in video photography, you can spend your money on a top of the range video camera, and then get a cheap point and shoot camera for stills.

This will save you having to take your expensive video camera out with you when you only want some simple snaps. Keep it for the serious work. If stills are your main interest, get the best stills camera you can, and a cheap video camera. In this case, however, you will probably find that you can create simple short video of a better standard with the high range stills camera, so you could consider having just the one camera. The optics on a top of the range camera will give you a good result, but the design of a stills camera may make video photography awkward for long periods.

If you are someone who wants to take photographs in extreme conditions, and the occasional video clip as well, Olympus have produced the perfect machine for you in the Stylus Tough-8000. The Stylus range of cameras as a whole are very resistant to weather conditions, but the Tough models are in a league of their own. They can stand extreme shock and being completely submerged in water. Although they are primarily designed as still cameras, their AVI capability makes them useful for capturing Olympus digital camera video.
