Default Camera questians

I am going to pick up a camera tomorrow, either the original go Pro, Or might try the 12MP bloggy. Both are video cameras, capable of taking still shots. What I was wondering, is if a camera can record in 1080P but can only take 5MP photos, would I be able to just take freeze frames of the video and have them be 1080P? If I can do that it would make a lot more sense to get an Hd camcorder and not worry about the quality of photos it would take. Any other suggestions on cameras/ camcorders i could buy at Best Buy would be appriciated, I need something that will take pictures that are quality enough that people would buy. I live around a lot of farms and was hoping to make some cash on the side through AP. My budget is 250$ give or take, was planning on going with a cheaper one at first and test it out, and if its not quality enough, return and upgrade. Thanks for any help.
