CTA train reflection


Here's a fun little video shot with my $20 Vistaquest VQ1005. Look for more videos to be posted here soon. I've been shooting more with this little guy.

Riding around Chicago's loop on a brown line train. I set the camera on the window, and captured this neat reflection in a glass-clad building.

Neat!

$20 huh? Wow! Excellent. I've been looking for a decent camera for my cooking videos. The web cam just plain stinks

awesome! I've always wanted to take a video like that.

Say, do they still have those people hanging off the side of a building after the Chicago stop on the brown line? I used to love riding past them, because they're so random. Just wondering.

ha! yeah, they are still hanging off the building. They must be strong.

Your post inspired me to do a review for the Vistaquest VQ1005 on my blog.

Here's an excerpt from the review that you'll want to keep in mind, Matt:

Make sure that you don't leave a battery in the camera for too long. I left a battery in my Vistaquest VQ1005 and the battery connectors started to corrode and now my Vistaquest VQ1005 is dead. The last time I used the camera was in mid-October. I tried using it in mid-April. That was a 6 month span of non-use with a battery installed that caused it to corrode.

crap. the battery corroded the battery connectors?! I wonder if wal-mart still sells the VQ1005.

Vistaquest makes a 3 megapixel version of this camera. Everything is exactly the same, but there's a 3 megapixel CMOS imaging chip instead of a 1 megapixel CMOS imaging chip. It's about $35. Available only at select WalMart shops. I's share the link, but i can't find it right now.

That sounds interesting a $35 3-megapixel camera. I wonder what resolution video it would shoot. A search for vistaquest on Wal-Mart's site doesn't yield a $35 camera. The cheapest one is $49.84--and that is out of stock online.
