Hi all

need a new camera,but needs to have a good video function as my digital camcorder decided to explode!!!!!

Looking at 2 ones a Fuji A920 which has WMV movie mode.

The other is a Technica pro 10megapixel with MP4 video mode.

The Technica has a good write up and is the only one i've seen with MP4.

Any advice wouyld be appreciated.

Cheers Mic

Of those two the MP4 format is the most widely used. .wav is only available on microsoft machines.

It does depend what you want to do with the movies. If you want good quality for video the best route remains a video camera which used mini dv tapes (these cost about £2 each tape) and hey are very cheap.

You have entered the world of too much choice. Good luck!
