So it's suitable for night-time photography? Tom

Wow, my 20D has abaout a .625 capture factor (the sensor captures about .625 of the scene that 35mm film captures. Some of you like to call it a 1.6 crop factor; to me it's a 0.625 capture facture due to the smaller sensor size. Anyway that's another 50 threads). So, this little puppy has a capture factor of about 0.1. That's an itty bitty little sensor. Aren't they making high-end video cameras with sensors larger than the size of a hole-punch?

I just saw the sensor size: 440,000 pixel CCD, and 1.68 megapixel still capture. Still seems awefully small. Yeah but it only needs to capture for TV. Even decent HDTV isn't exactly high resolution when compared to what our cameras do. 1.68 is just fine. My POTN Gallery, Complete gear list,
