amazon sent this item with scratches, unbelievable2008-12-03
this one star is for amazon, the item i received was with many scracthes around the body, with cables unhooked, even the battery for the remote controller was placed in. this is a definitely used camera. how could this happen from such a big amazon, unbelievable. i would not bother if they had told me this is refurbished item, but they sell it as brand new. the item could even be defective I do not know.
Frustrating format makes editing nearly unbearable2008-12-03
This camera has a lot of appealing features, but the AVCHD format makes it very difficult to work with files using a Mac and iMovie for editing. The files become unmanageably large when imported to iMovie, and take a lot longer to import than 1:1 even. Perhaps there will be software upgrades or improvements to handle these files with ease in the future, but for now it has made use of this camera a chore.

In fact, I am now planning to simply buy add'l SD cards for archiving of the footage we are taking of our new son, and will hope for a more user-friendly way to edit these videos in the future. At $25/8GB for Class 4 cards, which can hold 1-2 hours of raw footage, which is not unreasonable, but it beats the time investment required to deal with the files using current software.
MTS Codec Caveat2008-12-03
Do some research before you buy this camera!

It's breaking mah heart, but I have to send this beautiful camera back.

The MTS Codec doesn't play nice with premiere pro cs3.

Since it doesn't have a firewire port, I can't use it on my mac and record with quicktime.

If, and that's a big if, I can get anything from this gorgeous camera onto my mac, I would have to recode EVERYTHING to edit, think .flv or .avi packed with xvid. Think hours of recoding and hours of extra defragging.

Too much drama. It looks like if one spends hundreds and hundreds of dollars on "video editing" software, you wouldn't have to buy more software to recode ANYTHING! I used to have the same problem with Sony Vegas. What the hell are they thinking? Internet video is a passing fad???

Anyway, the flash sounds great but it's not working for me. I'm trading it in for a HV30. Mini HD tapes aren't as sexy, but they are very cheap archival quality storage. Plus they record straight HDV no codecs.

happy...ah whatever.

Awesome!2008-12-01
The best part is being able to randomly access the different recordings! No more tape to rewind/fast forward.
An Okay Camara, with Some Usability Issues2008-12-01
I bought the camara, and found that it is fairly easy to use.

I have some troubles with its software and manual.

1) The Manual cannot be openned up easily by Adobe PDF Reader 9.0, and got stuck constantly. As a result, I have to download another reader from other software vender to read manual.

2) I had a hard time to upload the video records from the camara to my PC, until I did a lot of research over Internet to find that I have to use AC power instead of battery to upload the recording.

I wasted about 6 hours to address these two issues. Other than that, everything seems working out okay.

Another complaint is that the battery life is too short (about 90 minutes).

Driving with a cell phone is a lot less dangerous than driving on prescription drugs
There's a lot of debate today about the safety of using cell phones while driving. Statistics show that those who use cell phones while driving cause a much greater percentage of accidents than those who avoid using their cell phones. And the studies have shown that it's not just the physical coordination required to punch numbers into the cell phone while you're trying to work the vehicle that causes accidents; it's actually the lack of attention resulting from driving and talking on the cell phone at the same time. It seems that when you're distracted, you're more likely to cause accidents. In terms of public safety, it's probably correct to say that banning cell phones would reduce the number of traffic accidents. But I think, more accurately, it depends on the person. Some people are operating on, shall we say, lower power CPUs in their heads to begin with. They might be zoned out on prescription drugs, and when you add a cell phone to the equation, they do become a danger to the ...
Professional video camera
A Professional video camera (often called a Television camera even though the use has spread) is a high-end device for recording electronic moving images (as opposed to a movie camera, that records the images on film). Originally developed for use in television studios, they are now commonly used for corporate and educational videos, music videos, direct-to-video movies, etc. There are two types of professional video cameras: High end portable, recording cameras (essentially, high-end camcorders) used for ENG and EFP image acquisition, and studio cameras which lack the recording capability of a camcorder, and are often fixed on studio pedestals. Portable professional cameras are generally much larger than consumer cameras and are designed to be carried on the shoulder. Technology It is common for professional cameras to split the incoming light into the three primary colors that humans are able to see, feeding each color into a separate pickup tube (in older cameras) or charge ...
