For Christmas I’d like some new Nikon binoculars, a Sony Playstation 3 or Microsoft XBox 360, a new video card for my computer with HD-out, a DVD player that can play videos from an SD/SDHC card (I don’t even know if one exists?), a stock pile of CD-R’s and DVD-R’s (I go through them like crazy on my DVR and my video camera), some new lenses for my Panasonic PV-GS320 3CCD video camera, a new Linksys Wireless G router (mine has been acting up lately) and a bunch of other stuff I can’t even think of right now. This is just in case Santa Clause reads blogs.
About a week and a half ago I picked up a new video camera from Best Buy. I checked out reviews for about ten different cameras under five hundred bucks and I ended up choosing the Panasonic PV-GS320. It’s a 3CCD video camera and picks up colors like no other video camera I’ve seen for under $500. Circuit City had the GS320 on sale for $369.99, but their warranty price and service is junk. I went to Best Buy and had them do a price match for Circuit City’s price and I got a 4 year warranty from Best Buy for $99. So I got a nice 3CCD video camera, a tall tripod, a carrying case and a 4 year warranty for $540 with tax and all. That’s really the best buy I’ve seen on this camera other than buying it from eBay. The video quality from the camera is even better than I ever expected. I can’t wait until we get some sun light so I can really take it out and see what it’s made of.
