Tóm tắt

This review compares videotape and film to help the researcher choose the one most suited to the specific research problem. The review treats initial costs, running costs, resolution, required light levels, sound, color, processing, and data viewing. Half-inch videotape is the most versatile equipment, especially indoors. A motor-driven 35-mm camera is necessary when extreme resolution is required.
