      I just got the following from another list where I first saw this camera mentioned.  Doesn't sound like you could use it underground in anything very large without special lighting.  Great idea about the baby cam, though!  :-)

>I have used it in combination with my Stenlight while caving.  Then Rosa came along (my daughter) and I am undergoing negotiations with my beloved wife of creating "Baby Cam" and having our little crawl into areas where adults cannot go.  Rosa hasn't mastered the art of verbal communications yet so having a visual would help decypher "da da de de gurgle gurgle".

>The camera works great in well light areas.  It was not designed to go into the dark.  My experience in room size passage is that you need at least 2 stens - on highest setting - to get any quality in your pictures.  But in tight areas, it works great.  No sounds are recorded so sounds would have to be added later if you wanted to include that in a film

>You can download the images directly to computers.
