Re: [videoblogging] Recommendations for a small camera (Xacti or other) to shoot in India
I agree. I've been using a Canon Ixus 860 (European name for Powershot, I think) and it shoots beautiful video. I love it. And it's FANTASTIC in low light. Better than Xacti. But not quite so good a grip. I think the Xacti pistol grip is the best way to shoot - better than the traditional camcorder grip. It produces big video files, though, compared to other little cameras I've used - so get yourself an 8GB memory card or two. I found the best deals for memory cards online - shops will rip you off.

Re: [videoblogging] Recommendations for a small camera (Xacti or other) to shoot in India
I have a Sony PD150 PS camera (with a 1G card), tried out the video a couple of weeks ago: http://tesla-roadster.blogspot.com [ my officemate in grad school was M. Eberhard/Telsa Motors ] I was surprised at how good the .mpg looked on my computer. I imported it to iMovie, exported it as a .m4v (iPod compatible). Which I uploaded to Blip.tv, you see the results. They don't look as good as the original .mpg, though.

[videoblogging] Recommendations for a small camera (Xacti or other) to shoot in India
Hey all, I'm heading to India for my honeymoon and the entire summer and plan to vlog and do some interviews from there. I *do not* plan to bring my macbook. I just want to bring a firewire or usb cable and upload at cafes. It needs to be small, light and easy to travel with and have decent sound. Recommendations?
