It does do both functions. Unfortunately it does them both at a sub standard level.

Yes you can snap stills during video capture. The GF5 also has the capability to pull screenshots from video during review.

No unfortunately not, but the quality is decent enough for you to screen grab stills from the video. Hope that helps.

Yes it seems to be in slow motion when using the Magic Pix(nightshot) mode.. although I'm not sure how this looks when transfered to P.C.

It really depends on what you are doing. Video in low light is not going to look good. High speed video in low light will look terrible. But stills in a dark bar or bowling alley look fantastic for a small camera by using the "Best Shot" feature set to "High Speed Night Scene and Portrait." It takes two photos back to back, (wait for both flashes) and combines them. While it does not match the quality of a DSLR with a wide aperature, it takes a much better photo than you could ever hope for with a phone and this camera still fits in your pocket.

Yes with timer there is a option in the camera to take burst of images, but I am not sure How long it lasts.

The sx260 doesn't have shutter lag but it has picture lag. This it's where it takes a little too long to wait between repetitive shots

No still shots but you can easily take a photo within the video on your iPad or iPhone. It's a great camera for the cost!

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

It's a video cam, not one for still pics. Simple to operate and you should practice your landings to be sure it stays operational, although mine has taken quite a bit of abuse and still records just fine. The media it uses is the same as the micro SD you'd use in a smart phone.

Yes, you can take pictures while in "video" mode. You can also preset whether you want a better quality for the video or the photo while performing both actions, which is quite handy.

Short answer: no, get a proper stills camera for that. However since it shoots raw, it saves each frame as a separate dng file within a folder so technically you could grab a still from the dng sequence.

Yes it does. There are two separate buttons for video and for taking photos, so when you press the photo button while making a video it will take the picture

According to the user manual http://pdisp01.c-wss.com/gdl/WWUFORedirectTarget.do?id=MDMwMDAwNjkyODAy&cmp;=ABR&la;ng=EN it does take stills, and it can even take stills while shooting video.

Yes, it also take photos. It is pretty much a standard now with today's camcorders.
