I went into Cord Camera today. They've reported very brisk K100D sales. And they're very pleased with the results, both in sales and in camera results. This town could change. Someday. Sincerely, Collin Brendemuehl http://www.brendemuehl.net http://evangelicalperspective.blogspot.com "He is

OT: Point and Shoot Movies

Someone asked about point and shoot cameras that also take movies. I hadn't tried shooting movies with the 5 megapixel Panasonic DMC-TZ1 at that time, but I did today. I'm quite impressed. It shoots in either 16x9 or 4x3 format. Speeds from 10fps to 30 fps. In 16x 9, 30fps mode, it can reco
