Camera to take videos as well as stills. Light.. What is composite output?

Light to see subjects in low natural light can be built in, or a jack to add a separate light. Prefer less expensive to more expensive. Any recommendations?

Separate question--What is the difference between a camcorder that has just composite output vs one that also has  component output?

Garydad,

 

Composite video and component video are both analog video signals.  Composite is the older standard definition signal that you have commonly seen output over a single wire with a yellow RCA connector, along with the separate audio connections.  Component video was the older analog high definition signal that was output over three separate wires with different color RCA connectors, along with the separate audio connections.

 

Are you looking for more of a still camera or for more of a camcorder?
