Away off Topic But
 
Just been using these AV920 screen goggles with a camcorder and WOW!!!
http://www.firebox.com/product/2029/Vuzix-iWear

Sorry to be a pusher of the commercial stuff, but these things are amazing.
Plugged them in to the back of our camcorder and set it on night-vision. I
was walking around the house, with just the street lights coming in through
curtains, and it was like being in Silence of the lambs. :-)

Well worth a Christmas gift for someone who likes video photography and
stuff.

Have you tried that novel thing that's catching on lately at night?





Sleep.

Pathetic resolution though.
The best is only 640 x 480 and the cheap ones are 320 x 240.

It should say "equivalent to a fuzzy 50" screen"

I was happy them. I have been showing them around today, and everyone was
saying how clear the picture was on them. I'm like a kid with an early
Christmas present, but they are actually for our engineers on CCTv jobs.
Just looking for a string to tie them around their necks so they don't fall
off.

I wanted their hands free for focus adjustment and things, and someone told
me about these specs with Tv screens in them. Going way to Sci-Fi me
thinks, until I tried these out for myself. Have now ordered another four.
The guys can then trim the cameras without having to bring those
mini-screens with them. Just pop the specs on and go. They all seem happy
with them today.
