Thanks that reply was helpful.
Too bad we don't have camera chart/rating system in place.
It would help newbies alot. hopefully that will change when
the manufacturers get hip to the vlogging community and our
needs and expectations. Has anybody attempted to approach
these guys.
My dream camera would be something affordable($150 - $200)
that capture semi-DVD quality video, audio, edit in camera
and allow me to send it to any host web server I want and
include XML and a bittorrrent file. No fuss, no muss. Just
point, shoot, edit and upload. Can somebody make this dream
of mine come true.
