I hope so!  :)

Cool. It looked like most of the fastest SS guys were running Chasecams, we 
almost got all of the top 5 spots. :)

Neither really reflect what the camera really can do, since you are looking 
at digitally compressed video. It all depends on the settings that the 
person uses to capture and compress the file  for use on a computer or the 
Internet. However, I think the sample videos from SPS and the Schotz videos 
were both done with the earlier "Conecam" which is a slightly lower 
resolution than the hires ChaseCam now on the market. But the raw video 
from a lower res cam, will look better than a hires source video that is 
more highly compressed.

I will upload some video from Nationals this weekend, including Junior's 
fast SS run in the Pumpkin, and some splitscreen videos from CSP, all 
captured onto a solid state recorder.
