So what are the plans for a NEW iSight?

[quote threeprong][quote mrbigstuff]The only thing about camcorders besides the obvious physical differences in set-up is that they "time out" after some while. The solution is to use a tape to "record" the session, but just keep re-recording the session (IOW, have only one tape).
mrbigstuff,

Take the tape out and the camcorder will realize it is in video monitor mode and will not turn off itself.

Hint for the day.
I have tried this and it has not worked. Do you mean leave the tape door open?

I've heard that this works too. Or just put the camera on RECORD and then PAUSE it so it does not wear down the heads.

EDIT: isn't there an Power Savings settings on your camera???
