Solid-State DV Camcorder

melorama writes "The NAB convention passed 2 weeks ago, and I'm surprised nobody has pointed out the really neat Solid State Video Camcorder that was unveiled by Panasonic. It seems a bit kludgy right now (it records onto a series of PCMCIA cards), but it definitely beats the klunky Avid/Ikegami Camcutter (aka Editcam) from several years back, which records onto a self-contained harddisk. This is certainly a blow to Sony, which is working on a camera acquisition system that uses a blue-laser optical disc (read: moving parts) technology."

  1. HELP! I'M TRAPPED IN STALLMAN'S BASEMENT! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    That fuck Stallman kidnapped me in, like, motherfucking 1983 and repeatedly buttfucked me and forced me to write GNU for him. That stupid fuck left the Internet connection on tonight and so I'm able to write this plea for help to you. HELP! I'm totally, like, fucking locked in here and there's no windows. I don't even know what fucking town I'm in. Do something - boycott his software or something, I don't care, just fucking help me!!!!

  4. Is it really all the necessary? by shanestyle · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Is not having moving parts all that great? My camera (Sharp Viewcam DIGITAL CAMCORDER VL-NZ50U) that cost a mere 265.00 has taken a beating, but still records just fine. I personally like the tapes, and with fire wire, getting it on a hard drive for DVD creation is easy. Just my .02!
