It's using the cx88 chip, correct? AFAIK, it is a ten bit capture chip rather than an 8 bit. Now, I don't know exactly how much of a difference that should make, but if it's anything like audio it should be noticable.
I hadn't heard that it could capture higher resolutions. Do you perhaps have a link to a page with more info on it? -Nate On Fri, 17 Dec 2004 16:01:56 -0500 (EST), Cory Papenfuss <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > It is about $45 cheaper, and some wonder if it might even be better, though > > that remains to be seen. > > I'm one of the ones thinking it might be.
