Hi Art:

I also crave a "1 stop solution", a nice digital videocam with decent still 
capability.

Alas, for me, at least, it is not yet here!  The videocam CCD is NOT 
designed for optimizing still images, and in any to date (Optura 100 MC, 
Sony TRV-30) the print limit without pixelation seems to be about 5 x 7, 
but with many more artifacts than with ANY moderately priced still digital 
camera.  Also, the slow shutter speed was a problem.  Alas, it was a bitter 
disappointment!

OTOH, IF modest size Prints will suffice, and they will not be critically 
examined, they are FUN, lightweight toys!  :-)
