HD Photography Tips
The idea of a single device that does it all is certainly appealing. If you’re aiming for a point-and-shoot camera or just a camera-equipped smartphone, make sure you select one with at least a 10-megapixel CMOS sensor and 16:9 shooting ratio, with the ability to shoot at high resolutions. The combination of these features will allow you to achieve stunning images on any HDTV, or any display for that matter.
HD Video Tips
Compact point-and-shoot digital cameras have been able to capture short videos for many years, normally at a maximum of 640 x 480 pixels at a frame rate of 15 or 30 frames per second (fps). While these modes may have been more than sufficient for sending as email attachments and web use, they’re definitely not high enough quality for much else, and they certainly won’t look too great on a large HDTV display. However, the good news is that a new generation of smartphones – like the Sony Xperia ion – have arrived that are capable of capturing high definition video almost as well as it can capture high resolution stills. Two of the most important things to look for are the ability to shoot in HD (1080p or 720p) and storage capacity (onboard and memory expansion slots).
