DV offers better image quality. The images are sharper and the color is richer and more accurate. At least twice as good as VHS and competitive with broadcast quality video. DV cameras are smaller than other formats, with some even fitting into a shirt pocket. Copies of digital videos, and copies of copies, are as sharp as the original.
Digital videos are easy to transfer to the computer and are already in the required digital format.
Once on the computer, they are easy to edit, and you can even e-mail clips or post them on a Web site. You can even distribute longer videos on CD and DVD discs. Since all of video will eventually be digital, why not start now. Digital videos have audio that's CD quality. Digital video uses component color sampling to retain three times as much color information as analog VHS and S-VHS video.
