Woohoo, New Toy

[Treebeard]

I just had to post that I got my new toy last night, A sony minidv camcorder (trv-22). Now if I could just find some time to play w/ it. I think I'll read the manual over the next year(219 pages )

im all smiles

Maybe your first project should be a short take off on Mystery Science Theater

Show the world that TPGO is not the only one that can make good movies

Nice choice, have liked sony camcorders for a long time (6 years anyway)

I have the same camcorder, although different model.
The passthrough hasn't been released in the UK yet, but it wasn't a concern for me.
Been using it a couple of months now.
Great, although one thing...
....when the colours are bright man, they are BRIGHT.
Makes the background dull-dull-dull.

sounds sweet m8, let me know how you get on with it dude

[i_am_dave]

I kind of wished I had gone with Sony. I purchased a Canon ZR30MC.
Mostly, I am happy with it, but iImage stabilization is a little weak, and I've already had to have it repaired. $170
Wore-out the drive mechanism after only 2 years of continuous use

So what's your first project gonna be?

hmmm lets see,

probably my daughters 8th birthday , followed by my son being born this fall and the always filming of everyday life as a husband(going on 5 years)and father (i have 2 daughters and a son due sept 9). Although there was a awesome storm that ripped through where i live last night that I felt like filming but my wife wouldnt have been to happy since we were in tornado warnings for like 4 hours and she doesnt like bad weather like I do.

Maybe I'll post an edited project someday.

Ah, so the 'Sattellite of love' is located in Nebraska!
I grew up in Northern Illinois. My wife and kids have never experienced a Mid-western spring!
I can remember my parents looking out of windows on opposite sides of the house, with my sister and I sitting with our legs dangling over the crawlspace entry in the kitchen.

We were instructed that when we heard the word JUMP that we had better jump and then get out of the way fast.

Luckily we never had to jump, although a tornado took out a couple of streets in our neighborhood!

play with it 1st and save the manual for a rainy day

then you will discover new features and it's a brand new toy again

Very Smart Dave!! I am in the capital city of nebraska, tell me where i am u trivia junkies. Yes violent weather is a way of life in the midwest, although having lived here all my life I have only been in 1 tornado, compared to the many, many times the sirens have sounded in the city.

Good ole Lincoln Nebraska.
You wont believe this, but my family and I will be overnighting in Nebraska City on July15th. On our way to Rapid City SD.
I plan on video-ing the Crazy Horse monument so that maybe someday if they ever finish it, my kids can show their grandkids what it looked like before.

Can you recommend any good resturants in the Neb-City area?

[Treebeard]

Wow, small world. Neb city is a about 60 miles from my house. Sorry I dont have any restaurants to recommend, the only time I'm there is when I drive through it on my way to kansas or missouri.

Its funny that your going to SD on july 15th, Im headed to sioux falls SD on july 18th
