JVC GR-DVL805U

"We could have gotten busted for peeping in people's windows with the awesome digital zoom on the JVC GR-DVL805U. It's better than a telescope and perfect for those "artsy stalker" videos."

"JVC calls the GR-DVL805U a "dual-cam," because it captures motion video on tape and 640-by-480 still images in a 2MB buffer for serial transfer to your computer via the supplied software and cables. The camera records at two quality levels: fine (30 images) and standard (60 images). Still-image capture options are extensive, including several "multi" modes that capture images filmed at one tenth of a second intervals on a single frame. Thumbnails display on the LCD panel, as on the Sony DCR-PC5."
