Thanks Paul. It's a good thread and I'm looking forward to seeing some FPV video and hearing more of what you have to say.
Just as an aside, I have ordered a Remzibi OSD.
I'll be interested to see how you go with the $17 HobbyKing camera, as the specs on the HK website don't make a lot of sense (avoid the sun in your image though; from what I've read the sensor is easily damaged).
Of course all this talk of LCD monitor/goggles resolution is just that, with camera/lens/Tx/Rx combos so cheap, even before I learn just how good individual parts of the total pathway are (the whole process is known as "MTF" or modulation transfer function, in classical optics and photography btw).
If it was quality optics and emulsion film from a still camera (or a known CMOS or CCD - with or without an AA filter) I could talk more knowledgeably, but I'm all at sea when it come to video, the transmission process and the processing and resultant signal output.
It's all just speculation for now though. A better camera/lens combo will no doubt provide a much better first part of the system...just one I'm not prepared to crash at this early stage.
Whatever, FPV is fun.
What goes up...better bloody stay up (until I say otherwise).
