Hi Justin, I have used everything from old box cameras to my Licaflex SLR
and
more recently my Canon highband 8 camcorder and NEVER had any problems
even at 15 feet from a 10 killowatt coil! The trick is I ALWAYS put the
camera in a well grounded Faraday cage made of brass screening (iron or
aluminum works fine too). The screening when only a fraction of an inch
in
front of the camera lens wont show up in the image at all.
