What is the best Digital Video Camera with best quality screen capture images
 

Mu guess is the XL1-s but I wanted to get peoples opinions on what video camera produces the best still image shots that you can pull from the captured video.

Also if anyone has any samples I would appreciate seeing the quality.

Thanks

Good question.. I'm looking to get a camera too.

do a google on the new SONY dvd cams 101/102 theyre like 800 and have 1 mln pix capture for pics plus burn small DVDs nice gear

We have the Canon XL-1s and love it.

go with the XL1-S :thumbsup

my school also has the Canon XL-1s...insane camera...

My gut and the response from most people tells me to go with the XL1-S but I was wondering what people think of the new panasonic models that have the leica lens.

Anyone have any samples from video they have shot. I want to see how crisp I can get the stills to be.

Thanks

The main goal is to set up product photography on a motorized turntable and shoot 360 images. I was hoping to use a vid camera but I may end up getting a new still camera for the project instead.

What are peoples thoughts on this subject.

The basic idea can be found below:

Check the videos out. Anyone have the ability to do this now and want to take on an ongoing project?

Thanks

well, if you are looking for ultimate image quality i would not use a video camera.

i would use a high-end pro digicam (maybe canon 1ds) with a big buffer and a very high shot per second continuous exposure rate while turning the turnstyle at a speed to give you the required illusion of motion (or not). many of these cameras can shoot several high quality shots per second in continuous mode.

years ago we created multiplex art holograms using the same technique---but in those days used a 35mm mitchell motion picture camera shooting about 15 frames/sec.

either way you can get visually stunning results.
