Panasonic Camcorder

I'm going to start using video more often in my blogs and edu 2.0 website so I decided to buy a nice high-end camcorder. My final choice was a Panasonic HDC-SD1 AVCHD.

This camcorder is 100% solid-state, with a 4Gb flash card that stores about an hour of high-resolution video. It has so many great features that it's best to just visit the Amazon site to read about them all.

I also recommend getting a tripod and umbrella lighting system.

I would like to get the same one but I am using Mac and I am worried about the lack of AVCHD support. What do you use for video editing?

PS. My P* Star Name is Alexi Marx. Did you take that post down intentionally?

Hi Roman,

There's info about AVCHD editors at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVCHD. It looks like there's at least one Mac editor for this new format.

Yes, I took down the porn star name post intentionally. It was fun, but now that I'm in the education business, I need to be a little more careful about my blog posts. But only a *little* bit ;-)

Cheers,
Graham

I guess you will never be able to remove the post completely. It will be always somewhere on Bloglines, technorati or google searches...

Best,

Hi Roman,

I'm not too worried about it; it was pretty tame anyway.

Cheers,

Thanks Josh, I'm looking forward to starting to "vblog" when I get back from my upcoming trip to Europe.

Best regards,
Graham
