can you also take still shots with this camcorder?

Yes. Even during video . I prefer to pause video and copy and save that picture.
1071181
Yes you cn take still shots. You can also take a still shot while video recording.
1071182
Yes you can. I haven't tried it yet though. We are very pleased with the camera

Yes, you can take some pretty decent still shots with this cam. It's basically a "button" on the LCD that you can tap, and it takes a picture of whatever the camera's aimed at.
1071184
Yes you can. You can save them to the inboard memory or a SD card. And if I remember correctly there are several templates that you can save still pictures too that give them borders and accents.

When shooting videos, how do I shoot still photos at the same time (apparently older M1+Mii could do this)?

It is great for action videos. If you also want stills, I agree a great digital camera with video might be a better option? Also give yourself time to play with it so you are ready and able to use it.

Yes. You can even take still photos while you are videotaping. There's a photo button on top of the camera by the zoom.

The main thing for the Handy Cam is video instead of still. Best still is 8 MP, but 1.5 hours of video with 16GB onboard memory and small battery. Video is HD and plugs right into the best HDMI TV with perfect screen resolution. It will blow your mind. The 55x mag is cool in the video...getting great close up without movement of the camera position. Great Alaska pictures in first outing. Need mono-tripod for 55x ... hand holding is a little shaky. The love and enjoyment of picture taking...requires more than one camera...now can have great (Yet affordable) still, video, and sound. Just add this camera to your already great still camera. Steve

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.

Of course the main reason to buy this camera is for shooting HD video but it is acceptable with still images as well. The image stabilization helps to freeze the action but not as well as a dedicated SLR or higher mega pixel point and shoot.

Yes, I believe so however the picture quality is just okay.. In addition you can only take still shots.. I wouldn't recomend this camera..

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

No. The Camera Uses Mini DV Tapes To Record HDV or DV Video. Card Is There For Capture Of Still Shots Only. It's A Great Camera!

Yes you can shoot stills while recording video. It is not a feature I am familiar with but I just tried it and it worked just fine.
1641407
Yes you can snap stills during video capture. The GF5 also has the capability to pull screenshots from video during review.

There was no feature to take stills. The camera did not come with software that would help extract images, but the files were saved in standard MPEG format so third party software would allow you to grab images. I use Nero for extracting images from my videos.

Yes you can seamlessly. Using Apple's built in program Imovie. We are a all Apple Environment, so we can answer any questions you may have pertaining to this camcorder and Apple.Thanks,Josh
