The Camera.  I just enjoy photography more.  I want a nice camera (the one I have is OK).  On the high end cameras the video is very good.  I understand an episode of House was filmed with a high end Canon Camera to show the quality of the camera when it comes to video.

I personally would go, and have, with the carmera.  Most likely because I tend to take more pictures than videos although I do both.  If I did more video I might tend to lean towards the Camcorder.  Without knowing for sure I am thinking the camcorder may be larger in size? as well.  I would not want to be lugging around something large all the time.  Camera is still fairly compact.  Mark

A Camera

Camera.

I'd buy both... lol!

The camera is what I'd go for if I have to pick just one.

Probably the camera.

Camera, better still image quality if you go with a decent one, but honestly neither is that expensive if you look around. I own 4 cameras and 2 camcorders. The most recent purchases were a new open box Sony A58 DSLR with kit lens for $360 and I picked up a JVC SD card camcorder for $40 on ebay. It was probably around $250-300 new but the seller got it as a gift and never used it because she "uses her phone for video".  I didn't need it, but for that price I couldn't pass up and it's a lot smaller and lighter than my JVC HDD camcorder.

Go with the camera; only one can give you both photos and video.  Just have to make sure it is a reasonable quality DSLR camera and a lens that is wide enough to really capture your subject matter.  The lenses that often come with DSLR cameras aren't well-suited to real estate photography.

A nice DSLR will also take amazing video 

I feel the camera is more important than the camcorder.  A good quality camera that takes crisp clear stills is what people are looking for when they are looking at listings.  The videos are a bonus.

My Broker just got a GoPro, so I'm gonna "test" it for her this weekend...

I would choose a good SLR camera, you can post a shot straight away, every video needs production values added to it so unless you have the time to do this, you never get time to post the video

Depends on which use of the device you will use the most.  If you primarily take single photos, go with the camera - if it is videos that "trip your trigger" go with the camcorder.

Trying to justify a purchase is easy if you know your direction.

Funny you should ask. I'm in the market for a nice still camera although it may have video feature. Just want to make sure I choose one that will satisfy my needs as a realtor.

My Note 3 is an excellent camera and produces great videos, however, I also have a Sony HandyCam Video wide angle 26.3mm with 240GB, so since I believe video is the future for marketing products and services, my advice is to get the video equipment. 

Definitely camera if you plan to do many pics with it and have video capabilities. The key will be getting a camera with a wide angle lens. Also if you decide to use flash, make sure it has a hot shoe to fire the flash mounted on top. Camcorders don't have flash options.

In reality they are two very different things. Most digital still cameras today will take video and vice versa. Now that being said, my recommendation is that you focus on what your primary use will be for the camera and buy the equipment that is primarily designed for that. If your primary objective is still photos then buy a still camera, if it is video then purchase a digital video camera.  My second recommendation is to stay with cameras that have good optics. Every major optical company (Canon, Minolta, Nikon, Samsung, etc.) have outstanding electronics divisions as well. The electronics companies (Panasonic, Sony, etc.) buy optics on the open market and fit them to their cameras. In the old days we always said that a camera was simply a device that kept the film from falling on the ground, a quality image was made using superior optics.

Definitely would be a camera. You will be taking a lot more pictures than video. With a quality camera you should be able to do video also.

Camera for ease of use. My friend is a videographer & she uses both actually but prefers a Canon camera because it's less bulky. Have to be a little bit more careful of the 'shakes' but she says it's easier.

I use a Go-Pro because of it's versatility, durability and size. it takes video and stills, comes with editing software, and last but not least it's waterproof, shockproof. the new ones take 4k footage which is TV production quality. www.gopro.com

Devin, I would also go with the camera. Unless you're really good with taking videos, I would stick with still shots.

Camera!!   Pictures are important..  My Camera takes excellent video but have never used it.  I make a video from of the pictures.  Works for me..

Get a camera. Video is best when the subject is moving and or talking.

Homes do not move, don't over think it.

Still go with camera.  It can do everything if you buy a good one.  I am looking at a new one now.

I would buy a nice camera.

A nice camera for sure. I already have a nice one. It has some video limitations, but it gets the job done.

Devin, I would choose the camera.  They just seem easier to use than camcorders.  Not that I've ever really used a camcorder!

i would buy a nice camera that does everthing i need to , from still to video

I'm wanting to provide more video in my marketing so I'd go for the camcorder. But I a lready have a good camera anyway!

I bought an HD camcorder that take the best 2-D shots.  Panasonic.  If interested, it also shoots great HD video and in 3D.

Geez, this is a tough one.  I would probably get the camera.

Great camera would be the most important and possibly be able to do some video.  Great pictures are the most important

I have a fabulous Nikon that takes spectacular photos, and HD video. I have taken some videos with it, but have not quite worked that into my listings yet, though.

Nice camera hands down. The new ones can take terrific video footage. I would be concerned with the microphone possibilities and make sure it has a jack for an external mike. That is where you lose so much quality.

I bought a great camera and I have a lot more versitility with it compared to a camcord.

In that case, it's simple - feature comparison, your minimum needs and price should be the factors to help you decide.

(Now, even a smartphone can take pictures and videos....)

I would go with a camera. Phones now adays have great camera's on them. Mine is  a 16MP camera on my phone and it does great video also. 

I too would probably stick with the camera. Mostly though because I've found that I am not very good at taking videos!
