Watch out, YouTube!

Don't know if you've noticed a distinct absence of videos from me recently, but I began having some really nasty audio problems. 

Realizing the day I've anticipating for awhile now had arrived, I plunged into researching video cameras to find the one best suited for me and my purposes.

After spending hours engaged in online confusion...er, I mean study...I called my friend, Wes Hazlitt.  In my opinion, Wes has some of the best videos out there, and I hoped he'd have the information I needed. 

He did!

Based on his recommendation and some very desireable features, I just ordered my new camera, the Kodak Zi8...in raspberry, no less!!

Given my recent issues with sound on my videos, one feature that especially appealed to me had to be that the Zi8 has a port for an external microphone, which would allow for better control of the sound quality.

My Choice? I wanted a lapel mic, and while I found a few that I felt would do the job, I ended up purchasing the  AZDEN EX503  for under $30.00.

I'm excited to see the results...can't wait til my camera and microphone arrive next week!!

So WATCH OUT, You Tube...Here I Come!!

PS - It comes in black, too! :)
