Just for fun.
Unfortunately there's no new footage. Just lots of older video cobbled together to make us look good. Well, sorta good anyway.
But why no new footage? Ah glad you asked.
We're in the market for a new camera. Our current camera is a Sony DSC-P92. It's just a simple point-and-shoot digital, several years old. It has served us very well but I dropped it down a scree slope last summer and it just hasn't been the same since. Actually it's a wonder the poor thing still works at all.
We've considered a video camera but we also want to shoot stills. My understanding is that most video cameras can also shoot stills but that the resolution isn't nearly as good as with a regular camera. And there's no way I'm going to carry one of each.
Any suggestions?
Here's the wish list:
- AA batteries
- video @ 30fps and 640x480 resolution
- viewfinder (or an LCD that is actually usable in bright light)
- >3x optical zoom
- zoom while shooting video (dreaming?)

Sweet compilation!! Looks like you found a lot of pow over the last couple of years.
ReplyDeleteThe camera thing is always tricky. It depends if you really want a good still or a good video camera?
Hey were you at Silverstar on Friday night? My brother thinks you might have been part of a group of ten tele skiers night skiing.
yeah that was us! a friend was giving a telemark clinic. we drove up after work for the $5 night skiing. is your brother on tele gear? i spoke to a couple of tele skiers who were ripping it up. they were going cat skiing up the malakwa gorge drainage on saturday.
ReplyDeleteyeah that was him. He was the one in the white pants and helmet. They had a pretty good day cat skiing though were disappointed with all the time lost to beacon practice etc in the morning. With the short days they were wishing for more turns.
