As your TV can only display 625 lines then 640 is more than enough. I will
send you a video from the camera tonight when I get home.

The other plus side is it has a very good built in mic.

Pedro .. that would be great if you can as thast beginning to look
like the best course of action the only problem im having is leaving a
digicam exposed with a large amout of drunken fools running about !

Ian .. the camera looks great but it still only does 640*480 vid
capture and ive been told by a video head friend of mine that thats no
good but if i can get a sample of the vid it produces for my own
perusal that would be fab ..

Yours still new to all this
