Thanks sujoy.
Actually I have to hire the services of a videographer for a family function. So
just trying to know few details so that I can verify if the videographer has the
appropriate equipment. Can you tell me a camera model for good quality
HD video recording and a good camera for good quality still photographs.
Still photos should be of such quality from which portaris can also be printed?

look its simple...if you are hiring someone then its for sure they will be a team of guys...one will do video one will do photographs one with video light etc..
for photography just see that he have a dslr and a good external flash ...it will be good if you can mention the maximum size of printing you are planning.
If its a 4ft by 5 ft type of huge portrait better see that he should have a full frame dslr like nikon D700, D600, D800, D4 , D750 or a canon 5dmk2, 5dmk3, 6d, etc

I was about to say the same thing, any of today's compact would be good enough to print an A4 size.
I guess for family function, as Sujoy said any DSLR would be fine.

Rajiv, You can even print A1 size with a 6mp photograph. They don't print big @ 300dpi and we're not gonna put our nose on the photograph and look for the details when printing big. So don't worry, you can comfortably get the print size you want.
Tell the photographers about the size you're thinking. They can tell you better...

I think it's sufficient, Sujoy.

[MENTION=125321]nac[/MENTION] a 32inch tv size will be almost equal to 3 A4 size in length and 2 A4 size in breadth ...its big ....maybe a 12mp will be less ....but its also true that you are not going to view it from very very close ....from 1 feet away it will not matter much.

Yes, it's bigger than A2 size.
32" Full HD is 1920x1080
i.e, He is viewing 2.07mp image @ 68.84dpi - 29"x16" (rounded). Correct me if I am wrong.
So a 12mp (4000x3000) @ 68.84dpi would give him 58"x44" (rounded).
Let's say he wants to print at high dpi (>250), he can print as big as 16"x12" with a 12mp image.
Thanks guys for all the info . I dint consider about the fact that such big photos
would be viewed from atleast 3-4 ft away,,
Meanwhile do you know about Canvera which is into printing and designing of family albums.
Some of the photographers I talked with said that they will create albums by using services of
Canvera
So just wanted to know how are the services of Canvera?
Thx
