How long before 3-4 megapixel digicams are capable of capturing seconds/minutes of footage into their storage... and the ability to play this back on a PC. I've gotta believe that this is the next step. Consumer priced high definition TV on the PC desktop. ? any ideas, links? thanks Dmance

You can get digital video cameras, they're pretty good for movies. They often interface with PC's via "firewire". A good rule of thumb is that Digital video cameras really suck for stills, and still digital cameras suck for video. I can do mpegs on my sony 505 digicam, but it's more a novelty feature than impressive quality. The stills on digital video cameras are worse image quality than the cheapest still digica
