AboutSteve Meltzer Expertise I am a professional photographer and I've been shooting for newspapers, magazines, commercial clients and artists for over 30 years.
I have shot stock photography for dozens of years and in 1977 created West Stock (Seattle, WA) which was one of the first to produce stock photo CDs and later one of the first to establish an online stock photo slaes site.
I have a new book on digital photography "PHOTOGRAPHING ARTS, CRAFTS AND COLLECTIBLES (Lark Books, 2007)which is available at Amazon.com, eBay.com and in bookstores like Barnes & Noble and Borders. I have another book, CAPTURE THE LIGHT which will be puiblished in November, 2008.
I write 20-30 feature articles and columns for regional and national publications a year.
My education includes studying with photographers like Cornell Capa, Duane Michels and Oliver Gagliani (from the Ansel Adams Center.)
Question is there any difference between picture extracted from a video camera and picture taken from a still camera?
Answer Rajesh
Yes. Photos with still digital are much sharper and better than video extracts.
The picture off a video camera is at a much lower resolution than one from a still camera. A 7 MP digital still camera has a resolution of roughly 3500 pixel x 2000 pixel. A supersharp HDTV digital video camera-the top of the line-is only 1980 x 1080 or just 2.1 MP.
The still camera photos can be printed very large and used for publication. The extracted image off a video is okay for sending to friends via the web or small (4x6 inches) color prints but not much else.
