  1. SuperChicken at 11:04am 7th October 2005 I got a chance to play with this thing at a show and it is actually pretty cool. The FPS seems low, but at mid/low res the quality is perfect for web use and just general screwing around. Got one for my nephew on order so I will steal it first and post further details.
  2. Ian Bell and Dan Gaul at 9:58am 7th October 2005 It sounds like it has a steady cam feature from what I could tell on their website. If you click on the thumbnail above, it will show you a larger image.
  3. Barry Naples at 9:33am 7th October 2005 Does the camera have a steady cam feature?
    Is there any close up pictures to show all the features of the camera?
