I might pick one up this weekend to experiment with, I guess is only has composite input though and no firewire?

Video quality is pretty decent, I'd say as good as it gets with a composite output. The highest quality outputs interlaced video and, in my opinion, is only marginally better than the intermediate setting - and because of that, medium quality is what I use for all my recordings.

As for size, this week I recorded one hour and forty five minutes of a Brazil vs. Netherlands match in the '74 World Cup and the file came out slightly smaller than 1 GB.
