Right, but not the same. A digital camera only does movie clips and then you have to have a good size media card in it to do that. We have a 52mb card we use in ours for photos and a couple clips of video. Digital cameras were made for taking photos and the video part just an add on......so the video isn't as good as a regular video camera. Just like a video camera is made to take video and the added camera part is pretty low in MP.

DVD Movie Camera NO - digital cameras have this function built inHD/Big Screen TV HD - YES Big screen NO. I too have no desire to live a movie theater. My TV is also a nice computer monitor.
GPS YES. But still need & use paper maps. GPS is good for details & lousy for longer range planning.
I-Pod Yes but different brand mp3 players. I misplace it a lot.
Might get a DVR. I use my computer now but the tuner seems inferior. I would love decent broadband but choices & services are poor here.
True enuf but they are just fine for my purposes to capture a little action. 52 MB? Pretty tiny. I use a 16GB sd card & have yet to use but a fraction of it. Each new version of digital camera gets better & better.
Just because another toy is better at a specific task doesn't mean that it is worth my time or money. There is this concept of good enough ...

That was the biggest media card on the market back when we bought our digital in 2005. We have two of them that match our camera......Panasonic Media Cards and Panasonic camera. When we go to certain events, we take photos and video both. We have the one that takes the small disc. Format the disc, record video, "finish" the disc, pop it out and put it into our DVD Player or computer......done. No transferring video like we did with old small cassette type video camera.

Not true. My camera takes HD movies that are as high resolution as your video camera, or so close you'll never see the difference. 1280x720 should satisfy pretty much anyone.
We have and enjoying using all but the movie camera. Our digital cameras and cell phones have video capability when we want to shoot the occasional short.
The only thing about electronics is you just can't keep up. I remember getting excited when I built my first crystal radio from a kit my father bought me from Radio Shack. My, how times have changed. The CDs you've transferred media to are almost obsolete. They've been replaced by DVDs, smaller and smaller portable drives and "clouds". Even the future of television as we know it is questionable with access to so much online these days. Where will it all end?
We still have the CD's with photos on them, but have transfered all the photos from those CD's onto to a single 8 gig USB Storage. Also have a USB Storage that I now put any of our digital camera movie clips on. When will it all end.........most likely never!
