You're welcome. It's 480 lines which isn'd bad, but it's still only 4:3. I'll have to shoot everything for my news channel in 16:9 from December 4th, so I'll be hunting for something similar in widescreen. Of course, the 4;3 can be converted but I like to keep up with trends ;-) BTW, I use a MiniDV camcorder as a recording device, and bolt the lot to one of these for some interesting shots, including underwater: <http://www.b-hague.co.uk/Handyjib.htm> I've adapted it so the mini cam goes on the business end and the MiniDV camcorder goes back at the operator end jigged onto a bracket and I view it on the pull-out LCD. Note that very few camcorders allow a separate video/audio input other than what they record through the lens. An alternative would be a small mini VTR, but they are more expensive, or indeed a hard drive recorder (again expensive). When I get a proper copy if Final Cut, I'll be able to compress some of my broadcast footage properly and put it onto my website, so I'll give you a link in a few months....
