I thought I knew what it was. I recently got into a disagreement about QCAM vs. these little camera's we have been using around the office. These "little Camera's" are: NTSC Color Video Out (couldn't say how many lines of resolution) Manual IRIS Includes Microphone with Audio Out Low light operation is better than every CamCorder that we have, which includes some Hi8 and SVHS/SVideo out units. Unit is about 2 inches wide, 4 inches deep, and about 1.5 includes tall. Runs off a little Wally I find they work great. We've been paying $180 for them. What are the facts with regard to the QCAM? Rumors I've heard: Connect to the parallel port. Cost $99 -- Brian Litzinger Powered by FreeBSD http[s]://www.mpress.com
