Has anyone purchased a video camera recently? We are looking to get one that can also take stills. Our camera bit the dust on vacation
For easy to use, a DVD camcorder is fun to use. No tranfers required. Just put in a new dvd everytime and can be played straight to your computer or even DVD player.
This is a good entry level vidcam -> Consumer Camcorders - High Definition Camcorders - DVD Camcorders - Single Chip CCD Digital Camcorders - Digital Camcorder - DC330 - Canon USA Consumer Products
I wouldn't expect camcorder to do good stills. I know the "still pic capability" of camcorders has gotten better - but "framing the shot" and flash control alll make using a camcorder as a camera a bad choice, if you ask me.
I carry a small 7megapixel dig camera in a case on my belt along with camcorder.
