I'm going to try.  I have my digital camera (it can do either
640x480 at 15fps OR 320x240@>15fps) and tripod.  The problem is battery
life and memory (only 1GB).  I have 3 sets of batteries with me so we
may need a few brief adbreaks as I juggle the camera/memory
card/batteries.

The camera can take a 3V power supply but I don't have one.
It has a 3.5mm(?) VIDEO-out jack to connect to the VIDEO-in + audio of a
TV/Video.  This would be perfect if only I had a way of connecting to to
my laptop.
Does anyone have suitable gizmos that might help here ?

PS. I've tried using the cameras USB socket to take video from the
camera but it seems you can either download pictures OR take pictures
but not both together.

Have fun,
Duncan
