What's the resolution of the CCD of your D8 or DV? Older D8 or DV came with 0.68M pixels, it's enough for TV, but not enough for still photo on monitor (>1M pixels should be better). Maybe you can record video, and extract pics on your PC. (I'm not familiar with how it works, but I heard it's doable.)

My opinion is unless your DV cam allows you to adjust resolution when taking pics, DVcams are not very good for taking close-ups.

But taking photos with DVcams are MUCH easier than still cameras.

Hi,

I'm using a view cam too to capture images. I agree with the picture resolution, not that good at all especially the close up. And mine is a DV.

I think newer model of D8 or DV come with 1.55M pixels maybe better. But, those're too expensive.
