Yeah, I agree with all of this - the Kid Cam has nowhere near the character

of our beloved PXL. But at $99 a pop I still think it could be a neat way

for people to make cheap movies, which is always cool. The IR thing has

some neat potential, too. If there was any question as whether this thing

was built out of surveilance cam guts, I think that proves it.
