Yes, it does, but it is not what we use it for, so I can't answer many other questions. It plugs right into the laptop, so I presume that's how you get the pictures off.

Yes, it does take a single photo. I carry this unit with me all the time in my car to record or take a picture of anything I want. I also recorded my entire home and surrounding exterior for insurance purposes and advised my insurance person.

Not that we're aware of. We just recently bought the camera and haven't used it much. It does have a time-delayed option -- as in setting up the camera for a shot and joining in the picture. But not a time-elapsed feature that we know of. cj

I know only that it takes fair-looking video and it comes with the 8 gig memory card. I don't think it takes still pictures. I've never been able to figure that out.

No. This is a DSLR/still photo camera only. It will do, however, just about anything else a user can ask a camera to do!.

Yes, it has the ability to. I searched for and downloaded a webcam program to do more stuff, but by itself, yes you can take pictures.

Yes, movement is the basis for it taking a photo. The motion detector is not as sensitive as i would like as in my experiments, it missed some pics

Like most digital cameras there is a distinct pause between pushing the shutter button and the picture being taken. So you may not get the exact picture you were hoping for. Other than that it works fine for this.

Not at all. Like most digital cameras, it is a great camera and it takes great pictures when there is adequate lighting.

It does also take still photos, but the quality is nowhere as good as the videos and even cell phone cameras look better. Still camera is about 1 mega pixel..

Yes it does, but I'm not impressed with them. As a still camera it would only be usefull in situations (rain, sand, around water) where you didn't want to risk a better camera. For those situations it's ok, but generally I'd prefer a simple point and shoot.

Yes, it can capture stills both from video playback (in review mode) and in the moment (in photo mode).

Yes, it does take stills. This is awesome. We use it to take pictures of our properties and it has saved us money. We no longer have to pay someone to take them for us.

There is a lock function. Not 100% sure if it would be for what you need it for but I can confirm there is a lock function that allows photos to be taken continuously back to back until you take it off
