So sad, I drug out my, like new, old, Sony DCR-TRV340 cam corder, thinking maybe I could use it as a video recording device. It captures on VHS-C tape, but I knew it also had a Sony smart stick memory card. Charged her up, battery still good, after 7 to 8 years! Well, the max on the memory card is 320 X 240. Basically useless. So I took some video on the tape. Downloaded, processed to digital, processed again, to save to WMV file (20/30 minutes total), and got some really pretty pitiful video. Compared to a $60/70 Mobius, with no processing needed, etc. etc. And to think I paid over $500 for this poor old Sony, when it was the cats ***.:upset:

I've sworn for years, that we are getting all this recent technology from a crashed or captured vehicle from a place other than earth! Just progressing too fast for us earthlings to have done it. I mean just look at a Naze controller card, especially their mini version. All the stuff that's on there. 10 years ago, it would have been the size of a laptop at least!:tennis:
