Why do professional camera-people take single or rapid burst shots of the event they’re photographing, instead of using a high quality video camera and selecting the best frame later in edit?
In: 5
The digital camera shooting quick single shots will produce far higher quality images than an equivalent camera shooting video.
The main issue is simply the amount of data that needs to be handled. A digital camera will have a memory buffer of limited size to which images can be captured when shooting in burst mode. They can be accumulated faster than they can actually be processed and written to long term storage, so this process can’t be continuous as video would require. A video then would need to be a lower resolution and quality.
