ch has
low noise at low light levels?

I think firewire is the way to go, for example the "iBOT firewire" as it =
is just
a straight AVI data transfer format (no data compression at the camera li=
ke
USB1.1) (as far as I'm aware) Naturally the compression would cause a pro=
blem
in terms of noise, unless I'm mistaken.

I'm not sure what the story is with USB2.0, whether it compresses the vid=
eo
stream  or not, but I would really like to know this, as firewire webcame=
ra's
are virtually impossible to buy in the shops here in =C9ire...

I also heard from this list that CCD devices are less noisy compared to
CMOS...Is that true?

Any information would be greatly helpful and appreciated

I need that low noise solution!

All the best, and Thanks,
David
