0.3 megapixel camera quality image
C G
I know that a nice video is subjective and everyone will have a different opinion. I am asking because I want to buy a camera that will take nice videos for uploading to YouTube. I don't want to invest a lot of money but I want to get something that will look pretty good and not grainy. Is something with 1000 pixels going to look bad after the video is uploaded? I have tried to research this but have found nothing that helps me. Thanks for you opinion!
Answer
Megapixels are used for measuring digital still image resolution, not video. Video resolution is measured using Horizontal line count and video quality is based on the amount of compression used.
Standard definition video = 480 horizontal lines.
High definition video = 720 or 1080 horizontal lines.
640 x 480 = standard definition video @ 4:3 aspect ratio = 307,200 pixels or about 0.3 megapixel.
1280 x 720 = high definition video @ 16:9 (widescreen) aspect ratio = 921,600 pixels or almost 1 megapixel.
1920 x 1080 = high definition video @ 16:9 (widescreen) aspect ratio = 2,073,600 pixels or about 2 megapixels.
The *QUALITY* of the video depends on the above AND the amount of compression applied to the video when it is captured and stored.
LOTS of compression = lots of discarded video data = lower video quality.
Less compression = less discarded video data and higher video quality.
Even "ultra high definition" video is referred to as "4k video".
Since we don't know which camera you have or what its video capabilities are, we have no way to know what sort of quality you'll get.
Tips:
1) Use LOTS of light when capturing video. Indoors, that means adding LOTS of light. Same with night video capture.
2) Use a tripod or other steadying device. Don't capture video handheld.
3) Don't expect good quality capture of REALLY LOUD or really low audio. Normal levels will be fine. Try to find a camcorder in your price range with some sort of manual audio control.
4) Get the camcorder close to where the people are speaking. If that is not possible, use an audio recorder (like a Zoom H1, or H2) and synch the audio later or use an external mic connected to the camcorder.
BUT, your step 1 is to set a budget. Camcorders can cost from $80 to $80,000. $500 is a reasonable mid-range consumer camcorder with a mic jack and some sort of audio control - like something in the Canon HF M series.

Asa
the new ds(i) has a camera in it. how many megapixels is the camera?
Answer
All the answers below are wrong. Okay there are two camera's the first one which is situated on the front of the ds is 3 mega pixels (a very nice quality if we compare it to mobile phones) And the second camera, situated where the microphone was is 0.3 mega pixels which is a very low quality. Hope this clears things up for you.
