[ctsy - Hitachi dvdcam ]

I have wondered if buying a Handycam would be wiser than buying a Digicam (Still). Im more amused by Still images, than boring and wierd home videos asking people to smile and "Say Something" talks. I admit, it would be of gerat use, and a treasure rather at some occassions. But for most of them, i guess a Digicam would do.
