It was my daughter's birthday, and we had six kids, a cake, and five gadgets: two smart phones, a point-and-shoot camera, a D-SLR, and a camcorder. This was the perfect opportunity to test how well these devices would capture great photos and stunning video of this kind of all-important event.
We decided to use the birthday party as a test for the shoot-out, because it's a tricky, low-light situation in which you'd want to capture both photos and video. We used each device to take a group shot and to shoot video of the kids singing. (And yes, I made them sing happy birthday five times, once for each device.)
To see our results, check out our video here and go to our story online, along with all of our new digital camera and camcorder Ratings (available to subscribers).
