Photo/Video System

The team were divided over whether we should be taking just photos or taking video as well. Taking two cameras was obviously an option but adds a lot in weight (and cost). Thankfully it turns out that there is a single camera solution in the Canon PowerShot A560.

For a compact it's a very decent piece of hardware, but the real treat is in an aftermarket firmware which will allow us to run a script on it. This script will potentially be set-up to take a photo every minute, with say 10-15 seconds of video in-between.

Andy directed the eBay 'sniping' operation to win us the Canon A560 a little earlier today with just 3 seconds remaining on the clock. Sorry Bidder 7...
