still pics & oem sd memory

[kajur_rugnic]

Newbie here, hello to all of you...

I just got my camcorder and have some q's for you guys. it says that it will need SD memory to capture still pics, so does it mean i dont need it for my camcorder if I dont want to capture still pics? btw, is still pics same as pics that we take using digital camera?

While browsing SD memory, I found OEM SD memory...what's this..how different is OEM compared with non OEM? Is the quality bad?

Thanks in advance guys...

Yes. SD mem only for stills.
Yes, still pics=digital camera pics.
Quality - the same (from experience). Just means it come "unbranded", with no bubble pack and glossy leaflet.

Camcorder still specs are usually far inferior to a real still cam but it is sometimes nice to carry only one box.

Likewise, "movie" capability of a digital still camera is far inferior to a camcorder.

Currently, a camcorder does a better job doing stills than a digital camera does doing movies.
