Alex,

You are right about the need for good lighting.  I think the use of such 
old techniques such as white umbrellas to get indirect diffused light 
would go a long way.  Precise color balance for SMT work should not be 
required.

Brian tried a point and shoot camera at Hamvention and I was surprised 
how well it worked.  I want to try some more playing around but now with 
small things like SMT work to see how to get a good video of that.

Anybody try some of this sort of stuff and how hard it really is?

Frank
