I just got my camcorder in today, and I have a neat idea for a movie to shoot with it. Beyond that movie, I have nothing. So if any of you have any ideas, just let me know.
This camera has so many cool features, most of which I'll never use. I have a memory card, but no cassette (I bought it off Ebay), so all I can do at the present moment is take 640x480 pictures, and shoot movies at 320x240 with 10 Frames per second. My question: WHY? Why have a camcorder that can record nice home movies shoot subpar, digital camera quality stuff? Dumb.
"But Shayne, when you do it this way, it is easier to take off of the camera and upload onto the internet."
Also dumb. You know how to fix that problem? Learn how to use the camcorder. Simple, problem fixed.
"It keeps movies in neat, different files and is great for spur of the moment happennings."
Rebuttle: Sounds like you need to buy a regular digital camera. Camcorders are great for spur of the moment things, provided you lug the thing around.
Bottom line: So far, I love this camcorder, and it will (hopefully) be a dependible product for years, and able to record all of our zany exploits.
But for those of you looking for a neat little camera/camcorder type experience, maybe the Sony Digicam W1 is for you. While technically a digital camera, it has the capability to take upperly decent 5Megapixel pictures and record 640x480 movies at 30 frames per second, which hasn't been seen by any other camera that I've known. It still doesn't compare with a dedicated movie machine though. The price: $340 to $450.

Nice job on the goldien ratio. And don't have to much fun with that camcorder.
Thank you. I don't win a version of the home game, "Math Trivia with Paul"? And you shouldn't congradulate me too much... I Googled. But I did know it before, so if I only remembered... it was from some mathy magazine. Did you know that the golden ratio was also used extensively in the video game "Daikatana"? No? Well, the game failed. Miserably. And that's after a lengthy delay to assure game quality blah blah blah. Wow, I just bored myself.
Sweet we started a movie this summer but never finished it due to lack of the of a decent video recorder
