A friend showed us his just-purchased Panasonic HD P2 Video camera (AG-HVX200 model, I think). No disk, no tape, gives the footage to his clients on a portable hard drive. He showed off some roughs he shot yesterday for a upcoming commercial, amazingly clear picture. I had never seen HD before, but I foresee it taking off in popularity, eventually. The actors looked like they were actually inside the monitor, trapped behind glass in some theater of the absurd.
Can I have one of these cameras, please? It is almost my birthday. I'm not about to become a commercial videographer, I don't think, but this camera looks like a lot of fun to have (in an alternate universe where I have unlimited cash flow).
Though, I have to ask how many minutes he can record at a time.
