Looking for:

Digital recording format - must be able to take a movie for minimum of 1 hour continuous

STill Capture - needs to take still images at 640x480 res equiv.

Format - Needs PAL System Compatibility

Size - needs to be extremely compact - I'm talking Olympus C3000 Size.

Cost - MSRP $1400 or less

I know this is a long shot - Thanks.

There aren't any digital cameras that I know of that can take movies longer than 60-90 seconds. This is limited due to the fact that each exposure is put into the camera's buffer, processed, then loaded onto the memory card. Even if you had the 350MB microdrive, you would still be limited by the size of the camera's buffer.

As far as digital camcorders, I don't know much about them, so I can't help you there. ;)

thanks - you're right. The closest thing I can find to a still camera with that type of recording capiblity is the SHARP Internet Cam. Looks like I'm on the hunt for camcorders.

Appreciate it.
