We ordered a new video camera. It’s on back order but hopefully will be here before our trip to visit our family.
The camera is a Panasonic HDC-SD5 which is a High Def camera that records to solid state media. I’m pretty excited about it as it should improve pictures and the like but also the camera itself is very small and very very light.
Everything I’ve read in reviews says that it works well with iMovie too. That, in fact, was one of my motivations. I may some day move to Final Cut but this point I’m an iMovie guy.
