I bought this for my grandson who is "technology wise" It broke within a week. He states poor quality.

I use mine with a DSLR but mostly for stills. You would have to watch your breath as that may affect the stability of your scene. I put over 10 pounds of camera and lens. It is very stabil.

Yes you can but it doesn't help at all. The camera is just horrible. I played with it for awhile trying to get some sort of quality picture out of it and it never happened.

Yes, it does take still photos. Just press the bottom right button on the Tx when the camera is in standby and not in video mode.

Still picture are very low grade. Get a stand alone digital camera for that

yes you can do still pictures at anytime even when recording video. If you have Windows 8 it recognizes the GE DVX without downloading a bunch software. I did have trouble downloading video to youtube; still haven't figured that out yet. Good luck.

Judith; I have primarily used the camera for still /semi-still pictures. I have a friend who uses hers for live action at rock concerts and gets outstanding results.Hope this helps, R

Hi Theo - There is limited aperture/shutter control, so it is more difficult to take photos of fast moving objects. I would say this camera is best for still images! However, I have taken great photos even when the objects are moving. Hope this helps.

No you can't. Camera is static. You can add additional equipment down the road like a gimbal to get it to do what you want. That's what I did.

You can get within four or five inches of most still subjects and get a good shot. The lighting can sometimes be a challenge indoors. I experiment with flash/no flash to get what I need. :^)

Yes, it does take stills. It works as a camcorder as well as a camera. I bought one for my boyfriend for Christmas and we love it.

Hi, I'm using my Canon rebel t2i and it works fine for still (none moving) samples. Moving samples are hard to photograph mostly because I have to amp up the isolation ect

Yes you can take stills underwater. You can also take stills from the video that are pretty good quality.

I have captured still photos while recording by pressing the shutter button. the picture is captured and the recording continues. I was also confused with this, but when I reviewed the video I eventual saw the pictures taken after the video play back. Yes, I agree this camera is awesome. if you have a smartphone or tablet the sony app turn them into remote controls for the camera through Wi-Fi. I am sorry, if too much info, please disregard.
