A question for those with "hybrid" bodies!

[Canon-Fodder!]

Hi Guys;

Anybody with a 5D MkII, 7D or any other body capable of HD "video"...

In HD mode - are the frames captured as single files - or is the "whole" sequence one file?

Are you able to capture a single frame from within the sequence, and treat it as a "regular" digital image?

What is the quality like - compared to a "regular" digital image?

M. Thx.

As far as i know you can take a single image out of a video but its only about 2mb-ok for the web but not a lot else

Yes, it is one continuous file, and yes you can cut a frame out of it. However, you can capture a still image while recording video - simply press the shutter at the chosen time.
