PC330 Question

[apdicenzo 0]

i heard the 330 has a pull out view finder.
does it have to be out to video.

also, does a photo taken off video look as good as a still photo on the memory card.
thanks for the help

The viewfinders do not have to be "out" for the video to record.

A frame grab from video can only ever be so good (not very).
A still to the memory stick can be acceptable for a number of things, but it's not a substitute for a digital still camera and you can not (to my knowledge) shoot video and stills at the same time.

Yes.

Yo!
I have a PC 330 and yes, Quade knows all. The camera takes great video, but I preferred the controls and setup of the 110.
Anyways, I attached a pic of a frame grab from a PC110...and I can't believe they actually pay me to do this stuff...
