Can you get still pictures from video and what is the quality of the picture?

I've been able to get stills using my video editing software. The images are good, not great, but I think that is normal for capturing stills. I believe the camera will take stills but I haven't tried it.

Thanks for your response. So... Is there any difference in picture quality?

Actually you can by using the free Brinno Video Player available from their website (under the Downloads tab). Let the camera process the video as its intended to do so and in the Brinno Video Player extract the component JPG files via en mass via sequential numbering or one at a time as you are viewing the frames. This is more my need really, just some key photos and not a time lapse video.

The quality of the camera itself will produce a clear images. But it depends on the lens that you get for close-up shots. I've got an amazingly sharp photos using a macro lens :)

Yes the picture quality is quite acceptable. It works the other way too - a Sony still picture camera with a high resolution image capture takes surprisingly great HD video!

Sure! Easy! Just connect the camera to your computer using the enclosed USB cable. You'll see a folder for the video files, and another folder for still shots. Simply drag and drop into your preferred editor.

I can record either VGA or 720p HD video. Here's a video I made with this camera: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbsCG552NAo I did not process this video at all before I uploaded it to youtube. I simply pulled it out of the camera with Picasa and uploaded it directly to Youtube. Because it is HD video the processing took much longer, but it was well worth it.

Excellent at 1080P at these frame rates:60/50/30/25/24p I am more into still photos than video. Video changes too often (Video film/super8/vhs/digital/full HD and now Quad HD is starting) Still photos last if you back them up. I use video for short films to be combined for children/grandchildren. Image quality depends on the sensor and the lens. The better the lens the better the quality. Technique and your level of competence matter most. Many pros used cheaper cameras, but they knew just how to get the best results.This is a very good mid-level camera. Any model that is more expensive is in the professional category.

The video doesn't use any proprietary codecs so as previous posters have said you can extract the still shots with video editing software. Also, I have found the video good enough to extract stills by pausing and doing screen captures (for slideshows, presentations, etc). However these will -not- be good enough to print at high quality. If you want high quality stills then you have to go with a higher end camera. I never had problems with the housing fogging up but that was in Caribbean weather conditions, don't know about colder environments.

I have not done any video recording but I have read that the autofocus doesn't work well when in video mode. The still photos are great.

Still images can be taken in .jpg, RAW, or a combination of both. Videos are taken AVCHD Lite, so are editable.

I wont call the video quality great, but it is decent. The sole purpose I bought the camera was for pictures and videos from a rugged, affordable camera. So far it has held it's end of the bargain

Mine has a video out, but I haven't used it, so I can't confirm the quality (I usually take the micro-sd out to transfer files if there's any I want to save or review). Per my experience with the rest of the unit, there's no reason to expect it wouldn't work fine, though.

It depends on the lighting. I have filmed indoors with decent lighting and when I upload it doesnt look hd either. Although when I am outside, the quality is very good
