Regardless, I think the original question was "what's a cheap way to get video signals for a project?" and the Fisher Price camcorder (alone) is around $80. Its awful grainy though...a real video camera (just a camera) is only ~$130, so this may not be too useful. -- --mike bergman Massachusetts Microelectronics Center 75 North Drive, Westborough, MA 01581, USA +1 (508) 870-0312 UUCP: harvard!m2c!bergman INTERNET: bergman@m2c.org
