I'm somewhat torn between the purchase of a digital camera and
camcorder.
I'm mainly looking to use it for taking pics of my dog when i take her
out on walks as well as having a small camera on hand. My main
workhorse camera is a nikonf90x.

But another thing is with a camcorder you can get live video however
stills are roughly under 1megapixel 2 at the most.


suggestions? advice?
thanks

You're never going to watch hours of video of your dog. You will look
at nice pictures of your dog all the time.

Replace "of your dog" with whatever else you might photograph. If you
have to choose, get a still camera, unless you're really into video,
which you're clearly not. Most people who buy camcorders are, frankly,
wasting their money.
