Can anyone give me some advice regarding this camera. I have never
owned a video camera and I will be getting one soon. I only need it
for family videos, as I will be getting married soon, and vacations.
I also have a separate digital still camera, so this is only for
video. I read alot about the CCDs and mpeg quality and all sort of
stuff that I dont fully understand. This camera seems like it should
be pretty easy for me to store all of my film on my computer, I have a
huge HD, and I wont have to purchase or carry around several tapes or
dvds. I will want to be able to edit the footage together, but again
this wont be anything fancy. The camera is very lightweight and
compact but it doesnt have an eyepiece, or a place to attach an
additional light to it. I dont know if the eyepiece is important or
not, but I am concerned about low light filming. Although I am under
the impression that every camera will have some issues with that. I
have also heard rumors about a very long, 14 second, boot time and the
possiblity of the camera getting very hot. Does anyone know if any of
this is true? I am looking to spend around $1,000 for a new camera, and
if this is a bad choice can anyone offer any good ideas and please tell
me why. Thanks in advance, I really appreciate the help.
