Thanks for the posts on the SAMSUNG, I had thought about buying one,
but ruled it out due to the poor image quality, and battery life.
COSTCO had them online for about $599 so I was going to just buy one
and try it out, return it if I didnt like it.
Regarding methods of stealth taping, I have done the following,
successfully from the 2nd row, with security all around me.
My camcorder is a JVC DVM-5U, bought it in 1998.
It is the 2nd or 3rd generation of the paperback book style camcorder from JVC.
I taped it in black electrical tape, to disguise it as a pair of binoculars.
I made sure there was no silver color, or led red lights showing.
I also created a dummy fake 2nd lens from a bottle cap, to make it look even more like a pair of binocs.
I held the camera sideways, like holding a pair of binocs.
I was able to tape the whole show from 2nd row with security on both sides of me.
I was a little worried that people would think I was kind of close to be using binoculars,
but noone bothered me.
Since the camera is turned on its side.
The picture turns out sideways, but you can rotate it using Ifilmedit or other software,
since it is digital
In future I'd like to get a SONY HC90, and paint it all black,
or disguise with black tape.
This camera is much smaller and looks like a pair of binoculars,
or monocular.
My other idea for stealth video, is using the "Howie Mandel" glasses,
to a DVR. The quality is not great though, only 380 lines of res,
and no zooming, so only good for 1st row, but then you dont need zoom.
Camera sees what you see.
Low light is prob not good either.
Also very expensive.
There are also button, and hat CCD cameras, and other glasses cameras.
They would be mostly stealth, with wires going to a portable DVR.
Hope this gives people some ideas on how to do stealth.
Looking for other peoples ideas on how to disguise cameras,
hide them, etc.
