Hmmm. OK.
I think that if I were to edit stuff like that I would probably choose a 720p setting (1280X720) like the one for the video out of the camera. The easy way, of course, is to take some 720p video and then create your sequence using that video clip. Use 24p or 25p or 30p depending on what you want to do and where you live. Using 24p generally works pretty nicely for images.
Yes, since you're editing still images, the above advice is very good. You do not want to drag and drop the stills to the New Item button for a good workflow, use a preset as was suggested by Steven.
- Rendering might be necessary for previewing an effect in real time.
- Rendering might be the thing to do when you want to preview some kinds of high quality footage in real time at full quality.
If you don't need to do these things, it is not necessary to render while you work.
