I’ve received an early Christmas present in the form of the HC5. I gave it a shakedown run just now and am enjoying it so far. I like the touch screen and can focus to infinity by a touch of a button.
Things I don’t like: Doesn’t get along with my HDTV. I hooked it up to it and while the picture is perfect the sound squeals when it’s on; must be a signal conflict or something.
I also don’t like the file sizes of HD video; a 5 minute clip is almost 1 gig in size. Oh well.
Cod’s annual chaser meeting is coming up on December 5th. I find out what dates they’re chasing as well.
Winter’s almost here so that means snow!
Just had our first snow yesterday; only a few flurries but it’s a start.
