im looking at sony because she wanted sony but her husband said panasonic so please help

I dont hang around dixons sniffing brochures, well not much, so I cant be specific but you shouldnt expect a video camera to be able to produce 'excellent' stills.

It is much better to get a seperate stills camera.

Stills from any video camera will be unlikel;y to better even a cheap dig stills camera.

Perhaps you should look at Canon video cams too, lots of the regulars here rate thier small cameras.
