Um, I used to think that the still-photo feature was
pretty useless (regardless of claims and CCD pixel-counts,
the best-quality still images from the best of these
camcorders are still limited to a "paltry" 640x480 [NTSC]
resolution) - but these can be quite good for web use,
if not for paper prints...
