Both "night vision" and those little toy on-camera lights are
sales gimmics. Nobody uses them seriously. Are you shooting
clandestine surveilence video? Are you a private investigator?
You don't really need to wait until night-time to videotape people
breaking several of the 10 commandments any more.

You really have some profound confusion going on here. I have
repeated redundantly over and over again and again that tape
has a MUCH longer life expectation than any field-burnable
optical format. You are still confusing me with somebody else.
And BTW, I don't sell tape, discs, or any other media, either.
I can only assume that you are not responding to me?
