Without getting too technical and for "casual videography" does anyone have an opinion on which camera does a better job:

The Bonica HDDV

or

Sea Life DC800



Thanks,

The Bonica for "casual videography".

The resolution is almost twice as good and the framerate (fps) is slightly better. 30fps is SD broadcast quality.

Bonica HDDV:
Video resolution: HD (1280 x 720) @ 30fps; D1 (720 x 480) @ 30fps; CIF (352 x 240) @ 30fps
Sealife DC800:
Motion AVI 640 x 480 or 320 x 240 at 25 frames per second (FPS)
 
I knew I'd catch some flack for the phrase ""casual videography" because it's basically an oxymoron but I think you know what I meant :).

It's a bit difficult to tell from the formatting of the email but I guess you're saying that the Bonica is the better choice?

Thanks,


Sy
