I want to photograph birds and print the results to A4 size so I'm thinking about a digital camera with a 10X zoom lens. I've seen 2 or 3 good write-ups on models recently.
However, I've also noticed that camcorders routinely come with a 20x, or even 30x, magnification so I'm thinking 'would I be better to invest in a camcorder and print stills from the pictures taken?'
Seems too good to be true!. Is there a catch? Is it just not possile to print still images from a camcorder? Are the lenses on camcorders not as good as those SLR type cameras, perhaps?
Any advice gratefully received.
