The difference is the software necessary to process (extract) a still picture from a video. .Most folks don't have that. Digital cameras are absolutely wonderful! The ability to process a jpeg (or even better a tiff file) with software normally supplied with modern digital cameras is awesome. I've been using Photoshop for years and most "included software" is at least an early version of Photoshop. My first edition of Photoshop inspired me to experiment. I had a picture of Linda's gggrandparents sitting side by side in the classic pose. Only problem was someone had spilled ink in the middle of the photo. I decided to play with it and shortly thereafter I had perfectly rebuilt his jacket and her bloused sleeve dress. Then I decide to change the frown (scowl ?) on her face - voila!! A really great photo emerged and was capable of printing in multiple formats.
