Camcorders taking stills

[johnb]

I am considering buying a pocket camcorder that records onto SD cards. What are peoples exoeriences of the stills taken on these units? Are they acceptable as a point 'n shoot camera substitute?

Any comments very gratefully received

These were taken on a Sony HDR-HC3 camcorder, I'll leave you to decide on quality.....
