*re: 64048030fps* My camera (Fuji s7000) too does it. the compression is albeit a very simple one (MotionJpeg) and it takes 1MB/sec for the video. (Mpeg4 would require one tenth) a simple Sandisk standard 1GB CF works OK. All other older CFs i tested work OK (that is they sustain the 1MB/sec needed) DV PAL resolution is 72057625fps (NTSC is 72048030FPS) not far from VGA (640*480) i'm using my dv camcorder no more, except when i need very long recording time (more than 100 seconds overall) (only got 1 1GB CF so far. Drawbacks are (for the fuji s7000, 14 months old--->obsolete)) 1) no autofocus during capture 2) no zooming allowed ... B.

Sarmad, Thanks for your interest. It is great to have some discussion here! I cannot verify the 30fps quoted, but the film does not have a jumpy or blocky quality at all. As far as quality is concerned, I have been viewing the movies on my laptop. If you expand the image to the entire frame of the screen it is easy to see that the quality is quite poor. Also, I have not tried to play the images on a TV, primarily because I don't have a good program for writing to DVD. With regard to compression, my understanding is that single-cell flash is approaching 20MB per second write speeds. I would assume that would be adequate. My older digicam was limited to 30 second captures. Currently capture is largely limited by a combination of buffer size, card write speed and flash card capacity. Aus
