Digital Camcorder/CAmera combo?

[beastboy]

I do not have a very good digital camera, and I also would like to get a digital camcorder too. I know they sell the camcorder that takes pictures and stores them outside of the movie loop. But how are the qualtiy of those pics? Are there any of these digital camcorders out there that can take good quality pics too?

Blow me!

Yep I do this shit for kicks.

I have a sony digi8 that takes pics but you can also take stills off the recordings on your desktop software and make pics out of those so why have the combo unless you're a total tard.

I love my Sony Digi 8!

I've done the pics thing of the digi8 and just cut clips for pics and found no real difference in quality.

Woody, I went thru several memory chips until I read that I needed keep the camera off before inserting the chips into the camera. The quality sucked cuz I was burning up the chips!

Duh! I guess those directions are meant for something, huh?

Depends on your definition of quality. For me the combo could never give me the quality in a still print that I am looking for and require.

For general gee wheez pics to emai to family and friends it would be okay.

My JVC will do stills as well, and the quality is not very good. Like chesty said, for e-mail type stuff, they're fine, but they can be a little grainy.

I have a Sony dcr PC120BT, It`s a 2 in 1 and has the highest megapixel you can get in a combo, yet is only 1.55 megapixels. So that tells you of the low quality you`re gonna get for the combo ones.

Having said that though, My pictures come out very nicely, good enough for the time being I guess. They are stored on a memory stick. You gotta love using the same camera for stills and movies.

I`d show you some pics if you want, but I have no idea how to take them off my computer to show them. I can E-mail them I guess, but that would`nt be fun. lol
