You cannot tell from the FL specs given what is
wider than what - they must be related to the
CCD area used for the video image, and this is
never in the specs for 1-chippers in a useable
form... Again, go with the TRV25 (or TRV740) - it
will give a better image than the other two,
making the decision easier...;-)
