In article <199901241256.NAA25980.kithrup.freebsd.hackers@freebsd.dk> you write: >Do you have any pointers for cheap cameras ?? I just bought a USB >color cam for US$60... I have a project I would like to do (and write an article about for the freebsd newsletter) for which I need a camera. I could use my digital camera, since I have software to deal with that -- but the camera uses flash memory to store the pictures, and I don't want to write to it that often (it is non-replaceable, so the camera has to last the 2-3 years I expect it to take for the next generation to drop to the price I paid for this one). The cheapest NTSC-out camera I know of would be a refurbished Vivitar digital camera from Fry's, which goes on sale periodically for $80-$99; however, the video capture board would be another $100 or so. Contrast this with the cost of a Logitech QuickCam Pro -- $149. Or the cost of a Connectix QuikCam VC -- under $70, I believe. I had hoped to get a camera through Jordan and the FreeBSD project (there is apparantly a connectix quikcam, colour and B&W, floating around, but I've given up on them coming my way). If there is support for USB color cam's, I'd dearly love to know about it... To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
