Its hard to say that something will always be so...but its hard to imagine a
day that a camera will be able to do both well. Of course it only needs to
please the person who bought it...and some people are easily pleased.

If you want video, buy a DV camcorder... If you want stills, buy a still
cam. It's that easy!

They used to say if you want wide angle, buy a wide angle lens,
if you want telephoto, buy a telephoto lens - zooms are no good.

But the technology got better and today almost all cameras
are sold with zoom lenses.

Your advice about still and video would have been right
two years ago. Maybe it's right today, and maybe not.
In a couple of years it will be dead wrong.
