Yep, I come around to visit but, nearly all the time, comments are closed. Not that you don’t have other things to do ….

So you’re still reading the tripe on my blog?! :)

The mic seems good on the camera I bought, but I’ll give it some thorough testing to make sure. The plus side of a Costco purchase is how painless it is to return things.

Jack,

Make sure you get a camera with good sound-recording capabilities. You will always treasure listening to your baby’s first words and other baby noises. I still have a tape somewhere of my kids’ early sounds. That was long ago and far away, before video cameras.

Anyway, happy baby! Best wishes.

I picked up a Panasonic PV-GS36 at Costco over the weekend. Seems okay so far.

Whatever you decide you’ll probably have to choose a camera that uses DV8. Other media seems to be still too limiting.

I’d go with a Canon, as I have been looking around. They seem to get the highest reviews in general.
