Hi,
Full manual control Sony AX100E camcorder (lovely ) has photo mode which sees it operate as a camera.
Fantastic hi res pics almost same size as my canon EOS 70D but spoilt by what is compression visible when same shot compared on a dSLR shooting RAW mode.
Is there a Sony RAW mode for the stills, I see no reason why it couldnt have such, if not then where is setting to reduce the compression to 0 in what are jpg files.
There is no harm in having user with choice of compression or not as the hardware is enough to take a superb photo and replace the need to also carry a dSLR but then its spoilt by compression which serious camcorder users and photographers wouldnt opt for.
Else my hope of having one device does both is lost. ( and I did try out bridge and so on, but serious airshow filming saw them fail) I have to carry around a dSLR and have both on straps round my neck bashing together, double the weight, double the bags, double the kit to look after etc.
