Hi,

I'm looking for a digital video camera with the following specs. Since I'm a newbie, I'd be grateful, if someone could help me find one at a reasonable price. I don't even know where to start looking:

(1) Power: volts and ma, 12 v and as few ma as possible
(2) Camera: cmos 20ma (or lcd with the option that backlight can be turned off)
(3) Color or B/W (color is better)
(4) Reverse video
(5) Field of view, 60 degrees left to right == f 3.8mm approx.
(6) Resolution == horizontal lines (more is "usually" better). An honest 480 lines would be nice.
(7) Format NTSC or PAL (PAL would be slightly better, but both are analog. Ideally, I'd like digital format between camera and the lcd).
(8) Cost: Less is better

Thanks very much,
