    Looking for Digital Camera more for Movie Functions
    Hello,

    I'm looking for a digital camera but focusing more on the movie function of it.

    Gotta be able to do at least 640-480 video with sound (no need for stereo). 15fps minimum but more importantly, at least 3 minutes per clip, and preferably as much as memory can hold.

    I know some of the new Canons can do this but was wondering if anyone knew other ones that could too.

    I've experienced that it's really hard to do any product search with movie parameters. It's just too secondary that people don't care.

    Thank you

    If movies are important to you, you'd be much happier with a video camera. Video on still cameras is a small feature, not a major component of the product. The videos are often not all that good either. As you wrote, for the vast majority of still camera users, video is secondary and not a major selling point.
