Subject: Solid state cameras

I'm contemplating the purchase of a solid state still-image camera, to be
used largely in documenting the construction and operation of my coil.
I've seen videos of TC operation that are plagued by snowy interference,
and I'm wondering if solid state CCD imagers are simply a bad idea
anywhere near operating coils.  Has anyone used one sucessfully with
near-photographic quality?

Also, do current models permit extended (multi-second "B" mode) exposures?
