While filming some scenes for a client in Mexico, I came across a stunning view that would be tough to replicate:

When filming with a Video DSLR camera, you can usually (depending on the brand) take a printable still photo at any time during your filming. For example, I was shooting this scene on video, but realized that I would want it as a high resolution RAW still photo as well. I simply clicked the shutter button, the camera immediately switched to still photography mode, and I got my shot. The only downside to this process is a break in your filming, but it is worth that minor inconvenience, especially when fleeting moments happen before your camera.
