Tape versus HD: A Quote from the B&H Web Site

[George Tyndall]

I was checking the current price of the HV30 on the B&H web site, and I came across the following review by HenryAmmons in Colorado:

.... After losing two years of video with a disc-based camcorder due to a bad hard disc and a failed backup (!), I'm back to tape and much relieved. Tape provides an automatic backup, and this camera provides excellent footage.

Maybe if the reviewer came to muvipix.com first, they would have know that a tape based camcorder is the best. Steve and Chuck have been recomending tape based camcorders from the beginning.

Exactly! If I had not found this board--more precisely, if Chuck and Steve had not found me on the Adobe forums--my creations would still be limited to slide shows from stills, and my sole use for PRE would be to burn DVDs of them.

I have heard rumblings that when the weather is right Chuck & Steve could walk on water. As amazed as I was, Steve just shrugged it off and said something about the cold Milwaukee morning making the water turn to ice, but I do not think that is relevant.

The whole Muvipix forum continues to be outstanding.

You're right, Sidd. I walked on a lot of water this week! Fell on my butt a couple of times too.

I know what you mean. I have 2 small dogs and I walk them no matter what the weather is. Here in NJ, we had some snow, but not much by your standards Steve. I think the most we got in my area was no more than 6 inches. However, most people do not shovel their sidewalks. Some people did. For sidewalks where people did shovel, there was a thin coat of ice left, which was not always easy to see. I fell on my butt several times this season . I prefer non-shoveled sidewalks. I't a good thing I have plenty of meat back there.

Anyhow it looks like this biggest storm of the season may be on its way. We may get up to 9 inches of snow starting tomorrow night. The kids are hoping for a day off from school.

I'm on the first flight over when I learn that they can change water into wine....

I'll take a flight over and all they need to do is turn the water into a good beer

[Steve Grisetti]

Well, right now I'm just concentrating on turning olive oil and balsamic vinegar into really great salad dressing!

I've turned water into good beer before... all you need is a home brewing kit and a good recipe!
