Take A Picture

Many digital camcorders have still image capability. And since some camcorder consumers don’t need advanced features, they are perfectly happy to use a camcorder to take pictures.

It’s easy to use a time laspe setting on your camcorder to take pictures of the night sky.

Or maybe you want to video record a vacation or child’s sporting event, then you might be tempted to grab some photos with the same device. Adding the still photography feature seems to be pretty easy for most camcorder manufacturers.

When shopping for camcorders, it could prove useful to look for a camcorder with decent still image resolution. This term refers to the megapixel ratings, which is an important feature when looking at digital cameras.

Even though this sounds like a great bonus to any camcorder, I personally prefer to have my technology separated and take my photos with digital cameras. And it’s worth saying that most digital cameras have pretty decent video capabilities.

I guess it all depends on your level of use for each device. If you see yourself video recording most of the time and rarely taking still images, then maybe go for a Panasonic GS320.
