Question Hello Mark,
Do any camcorders exist possibly allowing one to make movies and then extract individual photographs, negatives, or prints from the movie film itself, thus saving having to buy a separate regular camera?
I would like a camcorder to archive family & special events, but desire periodically to take a snapshot of myself or someone in a humorous setting, act, or costume. I might be asking for too much. Just curious. Also, if this type of camcorder exists, could one order it with a zoom lens or add one on later?
Thank you very much.
Answer There are video cameras where still images may be extracted. However, I don't know much about them or the quality of the images. They all come with zoom lenses. I would suggest going to a camera store and asking them about this type of camcorder.
I would, also, suggest going on-line to the major manufacturers...Sony, Canon, Panasonic, etc. and read the specs of their latest camcorders.
