Any way to use a digital camera to watch the itunes videos? I've got a canon Elph w/a pretty nice screen.

Possible or not?

You'd probably have to figure out how to get the file, in .mov format (if it uses the same video format as my S50), into the camera's file system on the memory card.

One hitch, can you even playback videos taken with the camera on its own screen? I don't remember being able to do that. Also, you'd probably have to resize the video to the camera screen's native size, probably 240x180. It might be possible, but given the quality of those screens, I doubt it'd be worth it.

What camera do you have, anyways?

I just picked up the sd550. Maybe I could just rip tv shows to it? Seems like the itunes video would be too much of a hassle.

I really don't see the sense in this. Are you planning on just whipping it out and watching movies on it? From my experience (I've got an S500) this wouldn't really be enjoyable, and it would probably kill my battery pretty quick.

I was thinking on getting the ipod video but if my camera can do the same thing no need to get one.
