New video cam, Joseph’s new uniforms
First posting for 2013.
On 31 Dec 2012, we bought a replacement camcorder for our Canon HV30. The HV30 is about 4 years old only, but the flip-screen ribbon-wire has snapped and Canon refuses to replace/repair saying it is end-of-line model. In any case, looks like MiniDV tapes are getting oudated, too. So we bought a new full-HD Canon HF-M56 for a little less than $1000. Uses SD cards, performs very similar to the HV30, and it is lighter. The only problem is that there is no mini-jack mic-input. The next model, HF-M52 has mic input and more built-in memory (32GB against 8GB) but costs $200.00 more, so better not pay to have a mic input which we rarely use.
Samples below are all auto-exposure, auto-white-balance and no digital filters.
Joseph has started his Kindergarten earlier (in December 2012) and the new school uniforms (formal and sports) has recently changed. Here he is in his new uniforms on 2 Jan 2013.
