ok so a friend of mine has a camera that someone gave him that he is going to give me. It was suposed to be released in japan but never did. it is called the Sharp VR-KTM1 another name for it is the Sharp VL-MR1 i looked around the net and could not find anything on it. All of the sites were in japanese and even though i found a program that translates the page to english, none of the pages had any info on it. It looks like a pretty decent camera to me, i was holding it and looking at it and it has lots of manual controls. I know its mini-dv but thats about it. If any one knows this camera or knows where i can find out about it i would really apreciate it...thanks
