small stills handcam?

Recommended Posts

Larger flashcards in small photo-cameras nowadays allow for continuous shooting (every second f.i.) while maintaining "enough pixels" to allow the making of a still that can be printed in poster-size. Anyone that does tandems with handcamvideo ("no, if you want photo's, then...") has by now learned the limitations of his trick and every cameraflyer hoping to keep doing tandems is jumping with video AND still.
Maybe it is the wrong crowd here to ask and certainly not wanting to start an endless thread about the evils of my ways, but the fact remains that my customers want stills sometimes and sometimes they want them more than video. :S;)

Anyone "been there, done that" and in the position to recommend a stills camera that:

1. Is small and lightweight enough to be fitted as handcam
2. Can be turned on and start shooting in continuous mode with one 8+MB still every second
3. Continues to operate for five minutes (= 300 stills)
OR
4. Has easy access to switches (a lancport would be too much to ask, I guess :P ) ???

If you didn't need 8MP stills, I'd suggest the GoPro Hero. It's a great little camera for that kind thing. But it isn't even close to 8MP.
DON'T confuse MP with quality of print. It's a factor, but not the only factor.
Otherwise, look at the Canon G10, or modifying any number of USB-equipped Cybershot-type cams that you can custom create a USB switch.
