If you have the frame-grabber, I've got the camera for you...  Remember
TYCO, the slot car racing people?  Well, they came out with a $99 B+W
camera with NTSC vid out.  The idea is kids can hook it up to the family
VCR and have a bargain camcorder of sorts (well, it does have a 20' cable)
that is not a big loss if it gets demolished during playtime.  So check
out Toys-R-Us; they might even have a demo out, but from what I
understand, it's got better image quality than the QuickCam, and
autoexposure  to boot.
