Digital video cameras

[Bruce Carlson]

Erik,

The Waikiki Aquarium has a SONY DCR-VX 1000 in an Amphibico housing.  We
have had excellent results and it produces broadcast quality images.
Copies are identical to the original because it's digital. I'll send a
longer message with more info to you personally rather than cluttering up
everyone's mail-box, however, I am also interested in sharing experiences
with others using this camera underwater.  I have encountered a few
glitches.
