I see - solid atate is the future for sure.

I understand about small cameras too - my tiny sony PC4 gets far more use than my big camera, I often take it everywhere 'just in case'.

Why of why do thay use such a daft codec on affordable ss cams - there really is no need as storage is so cheap now.
