Re: Using a camcorder as a digital camera
No,

Even the highest resolution camcorder is about 2mp, wheras the cheapest camera is 3mp.

Also the capture approach is different, a camcorder is capturing a continuous image and optimised as such, a camera is designed to capture a moment.

You need both.

As would a SonyErricson K750i cameraphone, and be a lot smaller.
