Digital Photo Sony/Video VX1000

As a "newbie" to this website, please excuse the following question which may have been addressed in past postings.

Most of the postings in this website appear to define "photo quality" digital cameras as those cameras which are capable of capturing photos in the 2+ megapixel range. Final print pixel resolutions of at least 120 ppi have also been debated as being "photo quality".

My question and situation is this. I own both a Sony (VX-1000) and Canon
(XL-1) digital video camera. Using the still capture mode of these video cameras results in capturing a photo which is 720 x 480 ppi. This resolution is extremely low compared to even the most modest priced digital still cameras on the market today. I am interested in capturing some "photo quality" digital stills with a maximum final print size of 4" x 5 " (approx.).

My question therefore is, what is the maximum "photo quality" print size of these two video cameras?

-Well said! Be careful though... I've been called an arrogant, Masseratti driving, perfectionist for making the same argument

-If the difference in fidelity between CD's and analog reproduction equipment was as large as exists between film and digital photos, none would be sold.
