Re: (meteorobs) video meteor cameras

6 frames in a 16 M chip at max resolution of 2560x1920
I'll assume 48 frames in a 128M chip.

You'll need extra chips so you can download into the pc while the camera
continues to record.
The process of dumping chips into the pc(I'll assume you have a portable
available) might get a little tiresome.  It has a USB port.

Could it send the images directly to a pc via the USB?
