Video cameras my change the game for UW photography

August 19th, 2006   Filed Under Uncategorized  

I was chatting on the phone yesterday with someone at a marine camera store in San Diego. He was commenting on how the increasing quality of still pictures that can be taken from the newer HD video cameras is coming close to digital still cameras. I have a 3-chip video camera that can take 3mp stills. The pics it takes are not near the quality of the shots from my little Nikon Coolpix 5000 camera, most probably because of better post processing software in the Nikon than in the video camera. However, I can see that as technology advances that the video cameras may be able to capture a good enough unprocessed image wherein you can do sufficient post processing on a computer to get acceptable results.
