\subsection{Image Sensor Reuse}}
There is a Hitachi Super H H-2 CPU on board with the image sensor. 5V and GND are clearly marked on one of the connectors. It draws around 50mA at idle.
I would like to reuse the image sensor but as of yet don't know how to. Further information could be obtained from either this or a similar camcorders service manual. Alternatively, I could purchase a camera module off ebay and work with that\footnote{Currently, the go to camera sensor for arduino is the OV7670 on ebay. Search ``cmos camera module''. There is also some options from Adafruit and Sparkfun for a comparable price.}. I don't yet have an ID for the image sensor used on board. If I can't get the image sensor working, I can instead just use the lens somewhere else. Disassembly of the lens from the image sensor required hot air to release glue from some screws.
