Q: CF Video capture cards for PDA

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Has anyone used any CF video capture cards? Does anyone know where there is
a review of such cards that I could look at?

My wife is using her PDA (Ipaq 2215) for data collection "in the field" and
would like to take some videos of her stuff as well. I need to compare
(price, weight, size, picture quality, durability) between buying her a
videocamera (or digital camera with video capture) vs. buying just enough
hardware to let her capture the video on the PDA, since she is already
carrying it anyway. As it is, I'm building her a shotgun microphone (hooked
to a hat) so she can use the PDA to take auditory clips.

The biggest challenge (assuming the CF card works out) will be to find an
appropriate (and inexpensive) video apparatus that isn't going to weigh her
down, and preferably one with some level of optical zoom...

Thanks for any info or advice,
Keith
