Your pics will be crisper and better lit than with the CCD's used on most (ok, ALL) digital video cameras today. The HDR-FX1 is a great camera, but will not drastically improve your screen cap quality, even with progressive scan. Most video cameras still only have 1-3 Megapixel capability when compared to digital still cams, the CCD's are much smaller than in a pro digital still camera.
Trust me on this, if you want to have good pics to go with your video, use a real digital still camera, with a solid flash. You can always take pics during your shoot and edit out the flashes (not the best way, too much editing), or after your done the video, recreate the shoot specifically for pics. It requires more planning, but all good productions need planning and organization. It cuts down on your editing too!

Agreed, screen caps will never come close to photo quality however you also need to consider the application. It's just not feasible for me to hold a still camera in my left hand and a video camera in my right and run both cameras while I'm fucking my wife.
I know that I can get much better image quality with a decent still camera (I'm currently shooting stills with and 8MP camera and a great external flash), I also know that I'm not likely to capture the cumshot with a still camera. Using screen caps, I'll never miss the cum shot and in fact I've got 30 images every second to choose from. The image quality trade off is acceptable, I'm just looking for the very best video camera to accomplish this.
