Can't find the specs if you can manually do stop motion frame by frame with the Af100.
Stop motion on the AF100?

DSLRs will probably be better for stop motion since you can use the full resolution of the still frames for motion and reframing in post. The 100 only takes HD resolution stills.

I don't recall there being a single-frame mode. You could "capture" a single frame whenever you wanted, but that involves pushing a user button, which may jog the camera.
Other P2 cameras have had single-frame recording. I don't know if any of the AVCCAM cameras offer it; perhaps the nature of a long-GoP recording format makes it impractical to implement single-frame animation?

this has been my major question, even for timelapse interval work.
if i heard correctly, philip bloom in his voice recording stated he shot a timelapse at 1 fps. not sure if he got it wrong, or i did or he manipulated it in post. i really hope it has interval recording, a big feature on the XF series i liked in a video camera. can anyone confirm this?

It has interval recording, yes. But that's not the same thing as single-frame recording.
For clarification -- on the P2 cameras, you can tell it to record one frame, and only one frame, and then stop recording entirely. And that is what I would use for stop-motion recording.
On the AF100 (and on the P2 cameras) there's interval recording. You can tell the camera to record one frame, at several intervals (one frame every second, one frame every 10 seconds, one frame every minute, etc). So it has interval recording, but it doesn't have a mode of "just record this one frame and then stop."

ahh i see, thanks for that barry. i havent checked out these features before. canon has frame recording which is different than interval; essentially what you said about the hvx. as the other user stated, the photo function will be the best bet. though i am glad for the interval recording, wasnt sure of that one.

If you're shooting progressive, isn't every frame a still? You could pull a frame from the timeline albeit limited to the HD resolution.
