Allan Jayne · 06-08-2006, 10:27 PM

I'm looking into buying one of the subcompact Canon digital cameras, either the 5 or 7 megapixel model. Was intrigued by the "movie" or camcorder mode of 640 x 480 pixels. Except the spec's say the video output is composite, you know, the kind where the colors are smeared due to only 50 or so lines of horizontal chrominance resolution and also the need to do comb filtering.

Anyone have any experience with these cameras and know whether there is some better way to get video out, perhaps with the help of downloading to a computer?
