The only output is an analogue "composite video" connector (with 
seperate analogue audio).

As an aside... I see Maplin are currently selling a video camera for 
£40. I find that quite astonishing; last time I checked, it was 
impossible to buy any video recording device of any description for less 
than about £4,000. I'm really not sure how a 100x price drop has 
occurred. (Although I doubt the £40 camera compares favourably to a 
£4,000 one!)

Recording to disk rather than some complex tape mechanism probably makes 
the device moderately cheaper to manufacture, but it doesn't begin to 
account for the fantastic price reduction.
