Yes, I know its a fish finder. But it does mention IR underwater lighting. Hhhmmmm, I might have to look into this technology. See if it would be of any use.

And no, I dont mean for use in the water. If a type of camera like this can shoot a decent video in the dark, well, its alot cheaper than a niteshot camera.

Probably got a "fisheye lens".

I'd like to know what you're talking about

Would something like this be of any use in the field? That's what I'm talking about. I'd wonder about something like this and its ability to shoot video in the dark.
Just trying to think outside the box is all.

Limited visibility, limited battery life, if you get one that takes a battery at all. Useless I guess. Well, ok, on to the next ridiculous idea.

You keep saying "this" - but there are no links, no pictures, and no information as to what "this" is, so everyone else is in the dark as to what you are referring to.

Whoops, went back and edited my original post to add the link, didnt notice it didn't work.

In theory it sounds like a good cheap alternative, especially for those aquatic BF, but it probably has a very wide angle lens and a short battery life and may not get the pictures you want.

Dont do that you will have the whole forum come down on you.

but good luck let us know how it turns out, i have one to, if it works i'll give it a try.
