WHAT ARE SOME DIGITAL RECORDERS That can take pics. AT THE SAME TIME??

Question

FOR EXAMPLE IM LOOKING FOR A CAMERA THAT RECORDS THAT CAN ALSO TAKE PICTURES

Answer 1

there are a wide number of choices of multipurpose camcorders. but none can both record live video AND snap a still picture simultaneously. The CCD imager is set up different for still pictures than video. Using a computer editor, it is possible to grab a single frame from the video which can then be saved in jpg format as a still. That is the onlly way to have a still picture from the same exact time as the video.

Answer 2

For the most part, any camcorder that can use a memory card for still pictures.

Canon ZR800, ZR900, HV20, HV30

Sony DCR-HC52, HC62, HDR-HC7, HC9

Panasonic PV-GS320

When you think you have selected a camcorder, DON'T buy it - go to the manufacturers web site (usually in the support area), download the manual for the camcorder you THINK you want to get and read the manual. It will indicate the features in the camcorder. When you have confirmed what you want is in the camcorder, then go buy it.
