- Starts various small projects that seem a good idea at the time yet never quite reach completion
- Amateur Videography
- Since roughly 2004 he has owned a variety of digital camcorders
- JVC GR-DV700
- The 1.3 mega pixel still photo capability out performed more modern cameras with much higher resolutions. Theft forced a change. Unfortunately the thief also took my footage of Asimo's visit to the London Science museum. Tip for camera owners - don't leave your tapes inside your machines. Request to thieves - take the camera by all means but please eject the tapes first.
- Panasonic NV GS120
- An OK camera, the mpeg-4 facility is handy, no manual focus and no analogue input, and the 1.7 mega pixel still camera is a disappointment. The flash is badly located too. Still, you can unload your cassette whilst attached to a tripod.
- Sony DCR-IP220 MICROMV
- Great camera with lots of whizzy gadgets, good usability, and ultra tiny cassettes. The one problem being no regular Digital Video output.
- Panasonic NV GS200
- Upgrade to the GS120. All the same functions but more mega pixels (2.3 but the images are still no better!). Adds a manual focus ring plus analogue input. The flash is still badly mounted and rendered useless once a lens is attached. The mpeg-4 recording facility is quite handy and it manages with DV in/out.
- (example videos to follow)
