Well, I sold the Canon HV20 and somewhat downgraded to a Sanyo Xacti HD2.
I found I was shooting video less on the Canon due to it's size and miniDV format. With the HD2, I shove it in my pocket and take it everywhere. 

I love the Xacti, but I need some parts and accessories:
USB Cable: Connect dock to PC
Wide Angle Lens: VCP-L06W
Lens Adapter: VCP-AL49
Underwater Housing: EHS-510H

Enjoying the job, life and Fridays.

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

I’d like to get a new camcorder.
Good low light video, nice looking picture, 16:9, lots of manual options and … ummm… I have about $400 to work with. :)
Should I get an Xacti E1, Panasonic GS320 ???

This is a 1 minute time-lapsed video of driving home.

The Xacti was equipped with the new DIY star filter and the effect is pretty good.

then added a little music.

This is a DIY (Do it Myself really) lens add-on for my Xacti camcorder using an old Cokin filter.

Here’s a vlog on three presents I got this Christmas.
A kickass tripod…great for the vlogger on the move.
An Elgato! Now I spend less time compressing video.
And, an iPod for watching everyone’s vlogs.

It sounds like simple advice, but take your camera with you all of the time.
Vlogging happens at any time or at any place.
I can’t believe what we saw at the grocery store.
But I saw it, whipped out my Xacti and the proof is in the pudding.

Also, while at a clients house today, I was showing him the vlog and was so glad that I posted both the better looking Quicktime .MP4 videos and the more compatible .FLASH versions.
He didn’t have Quicktime installed. Recently, due to NaVloPoMo, I’ve streamlined the process and cut out the .FLASH conversion. I’ve gone back to add the flash option to most of the vlogs, not including the Mensa Puzzles. I continue to leave them in Quicktime format only.

Now that I switched websites… the above note is irrelevant.

new video angle. Beyond arms length.
