Video shot in progressive mode will yeild higher quality still caps as each frame is a seperate picture rather than interlaced from one to the next providing the video was shot in progressive mode, wich on the vx2000 I believe is only 15fps, wich in comparison to the canons's 3 chip cameras wich will shoot progressive (frame movie mode) at 30fps. It looks like aarons video caps were taken from video shot in non progressive. If he had shot the video in progressive mode you would see even better quality from the still caps. The problem with the vx2000 is it only shoots 15fps when in progressive video mode thus the video has a cinematic film effect.
I wish the vx2000 would shoot 30fps in progressive mode, or maybe I am wrong as Sony does not clearly state on line how many frames per second the vx2000 will shoot in progressive mode.
But I can assure you the vx2000 caps will be better than trv950's by a long shot. I have taken many many still caps from a trv900 wich is very similar to the 950, and they are decent caps for interlaced video but no where near the quality what the vx2000 will produce you or any other video camera that has a progressive scan ccd.
Hope this helps.
P.S.: Good lighting will make your video caps look much better as it will eliminate much of the graininess that you will see from caps taken from video shot in low light, so get a good video light with your new rig as well. :-)

100% correct. I do not shootin progressive mode and it is 15fps on the VX2000. As for lighting...I told him the same thing on ICQ.
