excitedThis is it. I've ordered the camera (along with a mini-tripod and an extended life battery) for overnight delivery.
Of all of the high def camcorders out there, this is the one that looked the best when I checked them out and had the most advantages. The interface is very easy as the 3.2-inch LCD viewer is a touchscreen, and there are manual focusing controls. The greatest benefit, however, is the 120 GB hard drive, which means quite a lot less stress with respect to shooting (no spending money on tapes, which run out at the most inopportune moments anyway) and storage (you can only label so much on a tape) and importing (always a bitch on DV).
So... now I need to call it something.
Raz is coming by tonight, we're going to watch Batman Begins this evening and then go see The Dark Knight at midnight.

What should I name my new camera?
"Vera" after Jayne Cobb's Callahan fullbore autolock on 'Firefly.'
3(27.3%)
"Wynona" after Cricton's pulse pistol on 'Farscape.'
2(18.2%)
"Painless" after Blaine's mini-gun in 'Predator.'
1(9.1%)
"Buntline Special" after Wyatt Earp's Colt Peacemaker.
0(0.0%)
"Noisy Cricket" after J's weapon in 'Men in Black.'
2(18.2%)
These names are all too damn violent!
