A,

Nice looking cam!

I have been wondering about the CCDs that go into the various cameras
and whether *this* 1.3mp chip is better than *that*one.

It felt like I was getting better images out of my NexImage than my
Logitech 3000, but I can’t really say for sure. The DSI was certainly
worse than either of them.

This cam you bought does long exposure, too, right? So it goes from
1/30sec all the way up to…?

Which software did they send? Max Essentials?

18000 frames is just sick. How do you have the disk space for all that?! (:
