I've had a few Canon point and shoot cameras over the past few years, and one of my favorite features has been "Movie Digest".

If you're not familiar, when this feature is enabled the camera will take a short video clip every time you take a photo. Then, at the end of the day, the camera compiles all of the individual movie clips into a single video montage. At the end of the day, you have all of the photos you've taken, plus a single long video montage as well.

I really love this feature, which is why I normally purchase Canon Powershot cameras. Currently I'm thinking about buying the Canon Powershot G9, but I'm also interested in checking out the new Sony, Panasonic, and Nikon P&S cameras too.

My question is: does anyone know if any other camera manufacturer other than Canon offer a similar feature to "Movie Digest"?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

I guess you could say the IPhone's "live photo" feature is very similar, except without the compilation. I have a couple power shots with the movie digest mode but I've never used it, mostly because unless I'm wrong it forces you to shoot in auto mode with almost no control on settings.
