I saw one of Sonderberg's films recently where he was talking about how they'd used 6 fps and then repeated each frame 4 times (to get 24 fps) which produced a wonderful, jerky, odd, effect. Movie cameras just seem so much more flexible when it comes to doing anything over time or involving motion, so I can't imagine that you'd use a still camera. Besides, if the end result is a film, you'd have to rephotograph the still shots, because they'd be the wrong size (36x24mm rather than 18x24mm). Or am I completely missing something?
