[citation][nom]mouse24[/nom]Seems like marketing jargon thats saying we have a camera thats not fast enough to take movies at any reasonable FPS so we are just going to sell it as a "fast picture taker".[/citation]
these are 9mp pictures, now lets look at a potential use.
your kid is playing a sport, and you want to take photos of the best moment
well, you got about a 6 second window for the best moments, so lets assume you already have everything focused.
you shoot for 6 seconds and have about 100 potential pictures.

now with what you said, 1080p... how many cameras have you seen that can take a decent 1080p video? much less a phone that can? by some merical phones can take a half way decent picture, this one can take them fast.
and 1080p is under 3mp... and from what i understand, 3mp is the bare minimum you need for a 3 by 4 print to not see the pixles.
you need more if you want to take a larger print, but i also believe that 8mp is fine for a single 8 by 11 is i remember correctly.
so there, just gave you a real reason you want to use this over going through a 1080p video...
o, and lets not forget... most normal people don't even know how to take a screenshot on their computer, much less how to capture a single frame of video.
