Camera Test

My first test for a DE2 capture camera was the Canon Vixia HF200 HD camcorder. It records to SD memory cards and provides manual control over exposure and focus. However, wide-angle recording requires an attachment lens which has proven in field tests to significantly degrade image quality, introducing purple fringing (chromatic aberration) and blurring the footage around the edges. Current camera cost is about $520 each. Perhaps a better quality wide-angle lens can be found for this configuration.
