Pogue and the digital camera/camcorder

Interesting post by David Pogue on a number of products that aren't "there" yet, one of them being the digital camera that acts a camcorder, as I discussed recently:

 . . .The all-in-one camcorder/camera. I’ve been writing about this mythical beast for 7 years, too. Apparently camcorders and still cameras need totally different sensor types for best results, so nobody’s made a single machine that takes great stills and great videos.

Still cameras are getting there; one or two models can zoom and change focus while capturing video. But a real camcorder’s image stabilization and microphone are still miles ahead of a still camera’s. . .
