I am looking for a good camera to hook up to my 500mw felsweb system. Looks like it req a 5v camera.

GP cx171 - panasonic would be perfect but I think its 12v. It has the best specs.

Where can I buy for a good price?

The one thing to look out for, is how well the camera "transitions" from light to dark.

Some of the very cheap cameras out there, are horrible at this, and their price reflects that. Such cameras can be found on E-bay for a few bucks. Their video quality is horrible as well. It really comes down to what you are looking for I guess :-)

I am using a Panasonic Camera, and I have to say, it is quite good at transitions. I had payed close to 100.00 about 2 years ago for it, but am very happy with it.

As you mention, it does require 12V, but that is not a problem. You can get a voltage inverter for 10 bucks, that will take the 4.6V of a receiver battery, and safely up it to 12V for use with the camera. This works quite well, and I have never had a problem with the camera or the inverter.

Do you know where I can buy for the best price or selection?

Thanks,
Do you know where I can buy the camera for the best price or best selection of other cameras?

the panasonic 171 camera you mention uses 5 volts as powersupply. Because most other makes use 12 volts there is a second PCB with a power-down converter from 12 to 5 volts on the back of the Panasonic camera. I have two of these and they are the best I could get. I also use the Felsweb TX. See the pictures section on www.rc-cam.com. My alias is delcam
