Thanks for all the kind comments gang. I really enjoy playing around with the video thing. Up till now all the videos I have shot had been with my phone or my "still" camera that does a little bit of low res video. Jo bought me a Cannon FS100 digital video camera for Christmas 'cause she knew I liked to fool around with this stuff. She really researched it before she chose that model and I think she did a great job. It fits in the palm of my hand, literally, and can be had on sale for around $299.00. Seems to shoot great video and has software that does all different kinds of stuff. So, you guys will probably be my guinea pigs for a while as I try different things. I hope to make a really cool video of the 09 San Juan/Gulf Island trip in June. Boy, we are a long way from the days of lugging the big 'ol vhs camera on your shoulder, aren't we? Oops, now I'm dating myself. Next I'll be talking about the ol Super 8 movie camera my folks had! hahaha Sean M23 "Dauntless" www.havasumontgomerys.piczo.com **************New year...new news.
