I really need to read the manual before I start playing with things
like this camera. *:)

It's a Canon HV20 and I thought I had it setup in HD but apparently
not. *I also thought I had the image stabilzer on, but apparently I
didn't. *:)

Anyway - here's some of the first test shots.

Oh boy.. the swan piece reminds me of some of my Sony Handycam work.
You think you're holding the camera steady until you see your work on the
big tv screen.

Thing of it is I thought I had the stabilization feature turned on - I
also thought I had it in HD.

I have a still cam that does movies, not great, but ok for what I
need. Anyway, my point is with the mem cards being so big I just take
a lot of "film" and sort out the settings when I get home. The beauty
of digital. Remember when we took three rolls, sent them in, and
waited three weeks or more to see if we got "a" shot
