the answers (imho) are Yes and Yes.



there are nutty people out there who will try to charge you > US $400 for 

a pxl. [bernard forwarded me one such msg. ] 125.00 isn't that much more 

than the original asking price. just MAKE SURE IT WORKS!

be sure to try it first, by taping a minute or two and then watching it 

on the tv. to do this you will need to look at the acc. list below.



there /are/ some accessories;

 *  an a/v cable [rca connectors, ~ US$2.00 ]

 *  an ac adaptor [get from radio shack, ~ US $5.00 ]

 *  a silly little stand for shooting on a table or something [useless! ]

 *  the last and most devious accesory is the little adaptor box that you 

     use to hook the camera to your tv. this too you can get from radio 

     shak; it's marketed as a video game adaptor somethig-or-other, like for 

     switching your nintendo w/ your reg. antenna. [less than US $10.00 ]





good luck with your (hope!) new camera,
