[757labs] Camcorders in Space

[Almost_There at COX.Net]

Matt;

 >Can you text it at non hd mode and see if you can tell it to take a 
pix ever min for 4 hrs how much space does it need.

     At a little over 1M per picture, it would take (approximately) 
16 Hours to fill the 1 G Card I currently have.


     Testing Video...

     At 1280 x 720 I ran it until the 1 G Card was full - 7:01.
     At 640 x 480 I ran it until the Card was full - 22:17, or a 
little more than 3 times longer; approximately 3 G per hour.

     If this camera ain't the right tool for the job, who else has 
one to put up for evaluation?


     Good Luck!
