Thanks for the info Bill. I spotted a couple of nikon and one leica on e-bay. I'm just getting started on the look. When i get my funds I will get a little more serious. Many thanks for the input.

I need a cam for my MZ-8tr, something thats easy to digitize and edit with my PC. Sam, I heard you have some knowledge on this subject, any suggestions? Thanx, B

Barry,

The microscope store .com sells an array of cameras, you might browse them and they are extremely helpful.

Barry: I use a 1/2" CCD camera like the ones in the GRS classroom. Those are no longer available and have been replaced with smaller size (physical size, not chip) digital models which are really bad. The new models blow out highlights and just plain suck. I'm sure there's a new 1/2" ccd that doesn't do this, but I don't know where to send you.

For taping with a CCD camera I use a commercial grade Sony DSR-11 DVCAM tape deck, Mackie mixer, and various mics. CCD cameras have no recording or audio capabilities.

For non-closeup video I shoot 3-CCD Sony VX2100.
