    So since the new iPod touch takes only VGA quality pictures, but HD video, if you paused the video and took a screenshot, wouldn't you get a high quality picture? Or is my thinking just tomfoolery :confused:

    The screen size of the iPod touch 4 is the same as the resolution of stills taken with the camera. I have no idea why apple can call the stills VGA but the video HD.

    Wrong, the camera's resolution is only 960x720 which is just shy of 0.7 megapixels (VGA quality). The front camera is 640x480 VGA (Like the iPhone 4's).
