Well it’s March 14th; 2 more months until the Spring chasing trip.
I purchased a Sony HC-5 HDV Camera this year and am enjoying it so far. I’ve been chatting with Dick Mcgowan as he has one about how to get the best out of the camera. The file sizes are huge; a 5 minute clip is almost 1GB. If I want to burn a DVD, it’ll take a very long time as my computer doesn’t have enough power to process HDV.
Supposed to be 60 today; about time.
