Oh that's awesome!
Yeah WinXP isn't a far shot for me, I still use a computer with Windows 2000!
But otherwise, the TC5500 is a consideration for future stuff, but it is rather pricey. The 350 is cheap enough, but it lacks a few of the features I want that the 550 has.
Also, I went through the manual and it turns out I can use a lot of objects lying around and the camera will auto-align the tubes. I just pointed it at a light switch and it did a very good job. Honestly, even coming out of RCA I am surprised at the sharpness.
I'm now excited to figure a way to capture the RGB+sync output and see what this camera can really do.
