RNVINC, thanks for your input...I will try to swing by Academy tomorrow and see if they have one set up that I can play with a little and make sure it has the capability to just look at 1 side and open a zoom box. Based on this info I would think it would work fine for me...however I would like to have the capability of using memory cards and recording to take a look later at home on the lap top, but I am not sure it is worth the price difference to me.
