Have you seen the quality of itsmee's HD video still frames? They are better than any thing I've seen from a still camera. A lot of still cameras that supposedly shoot HD have very grainy pictures when shot at full size. Someone I know has a HD still camera that takes huge pictures that are grainy. When you shrink them down they look good. But very grainy at full resolution. Try making a still frame from one of Jackass' HD movies. The image quality is good.
Here's a link to a gallery of Itsmee/karennudist's video still frames. Voyeurweb compresses the hell out of the pictures submitted to them to reduce bandwidth use. But these still look good at 87kB per picture. They were probably much better when submitted.

If you don't go to the Voyeurweb home page first you may get redirected there. VW doesn't like direct links. They like people to have to go through the home page first. But go to the home page then go to the link I provided.
Pedro, if you don't get a response from itsmee on here let me know because I've got his email.
I don't know how much itsmee's camera costs. But it probably isn't cheap. An HD video camera that you can get high quality still frames from would be a nice addition to Pedro's arsenal. Can we get a contribution fund going?
