Depending on what resolution you want to display these "product shots"
Your best bet would be to just grab the frames you want after dumping to your drive via firewire. They will be 740 x 480 and if you have enough light you will get some decent grabs. If you reduce down from there they will even look better.
There are no camcorders that take what I call good pics. Even the vx2000 and the Gl2 leave a bit to be desired and those are hi end cameras.
If pics are your main purpose forget the video camera and buy a decent still camera in that price range, and you can even capture short mpegs with the still if you want.
But I can asure you that if you are looking for decent pics from a cheap video camera it aint gonna happen.
Cheers,
