I noticed that I can get a digital camera with 13.6 Megapixels for about $150 and I can get a HDD Camcorder with 30 GB HDD space and 2.0 Megapixels for $140. I want to know, are megapixels calculated differently for video and images? Will I get good quality pictures and videos with a 2.0 Megapixel 30 GB HDD Camcorder? Will it be as good as a 13.6 Megapixel Digital Camera?
Answer
Photos on a camcorder won't be good as photos on a still camera.
Video on a still camera won't be as good as videos on a camcorder.
In short, you have to figure out which is more important to you. Camcorders have fewer pixels because video has fewer pixels. Even the highest-resolution HDTV (1080 lines) is 1920x1080, or about 2 megapixels. Camcorders will have fewer pixels because more pixels are unnecessary, and would actually decrease the quality of the video. By packing more pixels into that small space, the pixels have to be smaller, and they won't perform as well. That's why you'll typically have relatively few pixels on a camcorder.
So, if you get the digital still camera, you'll get better quality photos, but the video will be mediocre. If you get the camcorder, the video will be better, but the photos will be mediocre.
Which is more important to you, photo or video? That's what your decision will likely come down to.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Suggestions for a Camera/Camcorder?
Kurt
I'm looking for a Camera/Camcorder, hopefully in the $400-500 (I can go up to $600-700) range suitable for a range of tasks...
I'd like it to be able to take good photos, as well as shoot 720p video of at least 60FPS. It'll mainly be used for video, so the video has to be high-quality.
It should have optical zoom.
It would be preferable if it had good sound to go with it.
It would be used for things such as:
-Indoor/Outdoor photography
-Filming people doing parkour/gymnastics/martial arts (basically, things with a lot of action)
-Shooting home-made moves/short films
I don't exactly know what direction I'm going. Can anybody suggest a camera (or if there's more than one that might work, some cameras) in my price range that might do what I need it to?
As I said, video is more important, so if it has to be strictly a camcorder or a camcorder that can't take nice pictures, that's fine too as long as it'd suit my other needs.

Camcorders with best video Quality in that price range are MiniDV tape camcorders. To get a HD camcorder that have as good or better Video Quality, would cost you in excess of $3300 to purchase that.
HD camcorders Interpolate the video, which means of every 25 frames of video, 4 or 5 frames are taken by the lens assembly, the other frames in between these are filled in by the camcorder inner circuitry, thus giving you not true video. HD camcorders interpolate the video, which means of every 25 frames of video, 4 or 5 frames are taken by the lens assembly; the other frames in between these are filled in by the camcorder inner circuitry, thus giving you not true video. It looks like this -one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, from front to back of the video. Near impossible to edit, even when you have the Multi processor computer with the big Graphics and sound cards that is required to edit, view, watch and work with the files a HD camcorder produces.
