We film all of our games (water polo) and some of our practices with a Canon ZR50 Digital Video Camcorder. I would like to just plug the camcorder into the projector and show film. Is that possible with these units? <br /> <br /> Also, since cost is a factor, is the InFocus X1 ($999) as effective for my purposes as the InFocus ScreenPlay 4800 ($1299).<br /> <br /> I also just read a favorable article on the <a target="_blank" href="/action/r/http://www.dell.com/">Dell</a> 2200MP ($899). It apparently does have a manual zoom now which was one of your concerns in the model you tested.<br /> <br /> The specs on all of these seem to be somewhat comparable, but one of the things that caught my attention in your article was your chart comparison for &quot;image quality&quot;. You had a 2 level (6 to <img src="http://media.hardwareanalysis.com/smilies/smile13.gif" width="14" height="14" border="0" alt="8)" title="8)"> difference between the <a target="_blank" href="/action/r/http://www.dell.com/">Dell</a> and the InFocus. Since I have been unable to find a retailer in our area that has these units functioning, I am not sure how to compare image quality which I would assume would be very critical for viewing our game films.<br /> <br /> Thank you for your article, it was very helpful to someone with no experience in this area. I would be very interested in comments from anyone with experience in this area for some guidance before purchasing a projector.<br /> <br /> Thank you,<br /> <br /> Lou<br /> <br />
