Billy, I'm missing something here (no comments from you know-it-alls). I thought that MPEG compression was required for digital video in order to make its high data volume wieldy. How do the non-MPEG digital video cameras work? They don't use compression of any kind? Do they have very short recording times, or do the tapes have extremely high capacity? (the MPEG camera takes only 20 minutes of video) Isn't no compression better than compression as far as picture quality? And if so, why do we want MPEG compression? Just to feed video to computers? The still photo features on the Hitachi camera are kind of neat, with the ten seconds of audio attached ... OK, maybe I was hasty in dismissing it, but it's still a bit pricy for the consumer market.
