For the VCL-0637H I think the letter H at the end represents the color. Mine is black which I have not seen in the stores as of late. There is a silver version but I do not recall the letter at the end.

Pretty Cool stuff Ed.

My only fear is that all that shake on my nice camcorder will break it. I am using my own stick version made from a monopod. I use mine in the low position and love it. This is a really cool idea.

Break a lens everybody

In the theater it is “break a leg” what is it for video, “have a codec rendering error”

Great minds thinking alike and in hi-def. Life is good

Sidd

I agree, and if I am not mistaken I think we are both using Sony HC1's too. Yikes

John, as always best and quickest are usually at the opposite ends of the spectrum. The quickest is to import the pictures and insert in the timeline and render. The best is when the pictures help to tell the story. Again that part is really subjective. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. One of t...

John, This sounds like a really fun project and I am sure it will be well received. Length of time is really subjective and varies based on the setting and what you are trying to present. To me it is like having a conversation, or telling a story with video and pictures. I would gauge my time based ...
