I got a shock tonight when I used my Sony Digital8 camcorder to make a short video clip of one of my tanks... I've been trying to figure out a good way to take pics. I have an old digital, but it never took good fish pics, and I don't wanna go through the hassle and expense of buying film and paying for processing with my Minolta SLR.
Anyway... When I was editing the video on my computer I realized it was much more detailed than I expected, so I saved some frames as still clips. Need to work on my lighting (think it's the power compacts) as I'm getting a greenish-blue wash, but I'm still impressed. Only does 64480, but that's fine for web pics. It'll make it much easier when I go on fish photography hunts... Just film the tank, and get what I want later.
*edit: A little color correction in Corel helped a lot*
