Looking forward to this weekend, I wonder if any FoL going to StellarCon is ... let us say reasonably familiar with ... Canon Vixia cameras? I have one available to me (I think it says HDV 30) and am considering occasional video podcasts but I am so far away from movies ... the last video camera I operated was a portable betamax, IIRC ... that I could use an in person refresher....most of these manuals assume you've been doing this for years, I think.
This camera is apparently old-style since it uses tapes instead of a card, so in theory I guess it is related to the old betamax I was using ... but that camera was about the size of a quarter of a railroad tie on my shoulder, and weighed that much, too.
Talking technologically, I just had my first two real demonstrations of smartphones being used smartly. So, anyone out there have experience with the android driven G1 from T-Mobile?
