Because my event was indoors with very low light, the image stabilization didn't help much. I took a few digital pictures using the 5MP camera option, but as with the video, they were too dark to be really useful. The camera also offers 8MP and 3MP modes. You can only use the digital camera when you are not doing video recording. There is an option to record from TV/VCR/DVD at 640x480 using the included composite cable.
There is a lot of stuff built into this camera, especially considering the price. Just do not confuse it for a high quality camcorder, HD or SD. Use it for what it's good for: light, cheap, easy video recording in good light.
