$210.00 Est. at Amazon

  1. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars i always thought of myself as more of a still picture person because i didn't want to be stuck filming behind a big bulky camcorder.
  2. from www.amazon.com
    4.0 Stars in fact, still pictures from the video are very acceptable for websites or most computer uses.
  3. from www.amazon.com
    3.0 Stars for small inserts on youtube, etc., i believe a kodak type 8-10mp camera does the job as it also takes brief, low quality video while delivering high quality still photos.
  4. from www.amazon.com
    4.0 Stars the only thing i would add is have the camara be able to take a still photo rather than take a video and using the software to capture a still shot.
Positives: Easy To Use, , Excellent Display, Recording Format: Flash Media

$162.00 Est. at Amazon

  1. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars the video quality is very good and so are the still photos.
  2. from www.amazon.com
    4.0 Stars does minohd take still photos like zi6?
  3. from www.amazon.com
    3.0 Stars big shoes to fill, i was willing to compromise slightly on video-replacement had to have sdhc, very small form factor, and decent still photo function.
  4. from www.amazon.com
    3.0 Stars video is jerky, and it was a chore to get a still photo that wasn't blurred in some way.
Positives: Easy To Use, Good Value, Great Display, Recording Format: Flash Media

Pure Digital F630 Camcorder

    5.0 Stars and you can take still picture from what you film.
  2. from www.amazon.com
    4.0 Stars i do wish it had a still picture option but oh well.
  3. from www.amazon.com
    1.0 Star i find it strange for this camera not to have still picture capabilities, as you would most probably need to take still pictures while you are shooting your video.
  4. from www.amazon.com
    4.0 Stars using the computer installed software, you can easily extract any frame of the video for a still picture to save on your computer, email and/or print.
  5. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars i think of the short videos i take as "long pictures" they really capture what is going on better than a still photo.
Positives: Easy To Use, Lightweight, Nice Video Quality, Recording Format: Flash Media
