If you have one what way do you import digital still photos that you have taken to maintain the image quality?

I have XL-1, works the same way though, you want to import them through firewire, that way you don't lose anything. and if you want to capture them from video (not a still frame), then you need to export a single frame and then 'de-interlace' in photoshop, or some other editing program.

yes it does, xl-1 is the slightly higher model actually
it records images for 5 seconds, but I rarely use it, something else might happen during those 5 seconds, so I just record and then extract frames from the video.
actually, I'm trying to sell the xl-1, maybe you wanna buy it?
