I sold the panasonic DV951 camcorder. It’s just too big and heavy for a vlogger.

Information
I'm a good ole Canadian Boy that vlogs (video blogs) moments in my life. The premise is that when I'm really old and forget how to feed myself, I can still look back and remember.
Variety! Perhaps I'll just gab about my day, or perhaps we'll talk about family, sports or whatever. I also have an artistic side, I like to experiment with different methods or points of view.
You'll find a little of everything here.

I’m always struck by the quality of your work no matter what camera you use.
In terms of keeping things simple, tape I suppose is a bit of a slow down. I’m using a hi def consumer camera and everything is that much slower to process. The editing/rendering times, the amount of hard drive space required. Of course, with the new hi def hard drive based cameras the problem of video storage and archiving becomes so much bigger. There’s definitely an inclination to shoot more with a simpler set up.
I suspect the Xactis are due an update fairly soon. Maybe then they’ll have dealt with some of the niggling problems. Great little devices, though.
