Checked out your videos. Entertaining. :) Depending on what you're trying to do, you might consider getting a digital still camera that also shoots video. I picked up the Samsung NV3, though it's unreliable sound-wise. Another option is the Sony W-70 for ~ the same price or the Sony W-100 for a little more. Both record video to a card instead of tape, so transfer to computer for editing is infinitely faster. Also, you get to carry around a still camera instead of a video camera. Comes in handy sometimes. ;)
Also, use the search function. A lot of this has been discussed and is already available. <http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/videoblogging/message/54600> -- Bill C. http://ReelSolid.TV --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, "jsmooth995" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello hello, been lurking for a while now and gleaned lots of insight > from you all (my first little forays into video are here: > http://illdoctrine.blip.tv/). > > I want to pick up a second camera that's easier to carry around, and > after reading up here and elsewhere I'm looking at the Elura 100 and > the Xacti C40.
