I agree with both of you, but remember when people would buy home movie
cameras that shot of 8mm film?
3 minutes seemed to be enough back then to capture IMPORTANT (being the key
word) family moments, not hours and hours of drool footage.
So for those who do it professionally and will edit those hours and hours
down to a few minutes of action, this type camera is no good.
But what about possible for those who want a lightweight travel companion to
capture something rather than have no memories?
Just a thought where a 15 min of video would be useful.
Also, what about capturing to mpeg-2 dvd quality? 4gb would be equivelant to
a 2 hour dvd no?
Possibly enough for home consumer use.

I agree doc. The camera has gotten relatively poor reviews, and the
downloads I have seen confirm these opinions. Using flash memory will make
a lot more sense when really large cards appear and prices drop much
further.

and at 15 mins for $129 that equates to $8.60 a minute and it hardly
noticable to the average JQ (John Q Public) [see our post on video
quality field survey tests in another thread] so to us that's a bad idea.
hey don't get me wrong, i love the card idea and ability to transfer but
40 gig would be more appropriate or even 20 or 30 so that one could stay
on course with some real work instead of having to have a pocket full of
cards and chase the identity of each :o)

4GB for 15 minutes does work out to 32GB for a two hour
movie.....essentially what HD-DVD and BluRay provide / claim. I
seriously doubt that the camera can either capture or record at this
rate (35 Mbits/sec), but regardless, a 4 GB card should more than
adequately hold 15 minutes of HD video.

really 4 GB sounds reasonable for about a quarter of an hour of video
recording to you? not to me. we must have a different set of ecomics.

You may have heard by now of the Sanyo VPC-HD1, a revolutionary new
camcorder that records in 720p to SD flash memory (up to 88 minutes
in
HD using a 4GB card). It can also record in SD, shoots 5.1MP stills
(it can shoot stills at the same time your shooting video). You
then
just plug the card into your computer, or plug the camcorder into
your
computer via USB and it is recognized as a drive. Its so easy to
copy
clips and pictures off the camcorder. So much easier than dealing
with
tape! It can also act as a webcam with certain software. It has a
gorgeous flip-out OLED screen and tons of features. It's tiny too.
Here are some links.
Get it at: http://www.dvnation.com/hd1.html
See pictures and video taken with the cam at
http://www.dvnation.com/hd1pics.html .
4GB card for $129 - sounds damn reasonable to me! Get two.
What I want to know is how fast can it offload to a computer???
