What is the difference between digi cam(digital camera) & a handy cam(camcorder)?

the only big differences are now the recording media and the focal range

d.cameras use flash memory

camcorders use disc or tape

many cameras can shoot video,and many camcorders can shoot stills a digital cameras are used for still shots. camcorders are used for movies. A camcorder takes motion pictures (you can playback to see people moving...) It's like a movie

A digital camera is like a regular point and click camera... it's just that the still image is in digital form. http://www.pctoolmag.com/234/video-softw... camcorder=movie

O.K.? digital camera records great quality still photos stored in a memory card and camcorder records good video footages stored in different media (tape, hdd, dvd and also memory cards).

many digicams function also as a videocam and vice versa, but quality is greatly affected, therefore, use the device for what it is mainly built for. first of all handycam is a kind of camcorder by sony. camcorders shoot video, and digital still cameras shoot still images, but some camcorders will also shoot stills, and some still cameras will also shoot video. but if you plan for them to be the best quality, you should probably use a camcorder to shoot video, even if your still camera has that option, and vice versa. Handicam or Handycam is a Sony Trademark generally used to identify their 8mm process, which can either be digital (e.g. TRV 280) or analog (e.g. TRV 138).
