RE: Infrared vision with Sony camcorder [chat]

I had the Rainbow Runner on a previous machine.  I never could get past a
dropped frame problem.  However, it was an older (200 mhz) machine.  I have
missed having the capture ability with my new machine.  I have been looking
at the DV500, but it is competing with too many other toys.
