Panasonic HDC-SD100EBK Full HD Camcorder

Despite the glowing reviews I’ve been fairly underwhelmed with this camera. I may even sell it on eBay. Definitely not appropriate for shooting fast moving aircraft or use in low light/night. Also still too bulky to smuggle into festivals and concerts.

Okay, after a fair amount of rethinking and research:

Sony HDR-TG3 HD Camcorder and Sony eBook Reader

Lusting after these two gadgets:



Sony HDR-TG3E High Definition Camcorder has been out for over 6 months now. It’s the smallest HD camcorder on the market and looks to do the job nicely – I want something pocketable for festivals etc. I’d buy one tomorrow, although no doubt a new model will be coming out very soon – wait and see.



Very keen on getting an eBook reader. The Sony PRS-505 at Waterstones looks the go, but for £80 more the PRS-700 with touch screen must be near release in the UK. Might have to wait, although the PRS-505 does look more than sufficient even without a touch screen.

Here’s a pic of the Behringer mini-mixer and EQ I have on my desk at the office. I use this to mix the audio from my iPod and laptop into those Bose headphones. The whole setup is fairly low profile and sure beats fiddling with the headphone plug when you want to switch between sources. I find the Bose headphones too bassy for long listening periods – the low-cut in the EQ brings them down to a more comfortable level.

Great, except barely readable in bright sunlight, the Go 910 had a superior screen. Loving IQ Routes. Enhanced Position Tracking feature is very cool, using inertial sensors to track your position when in tunnels or poor GPS reception.

Lovely keyboard, lots of knobs to twist and slide to make electro sounds.
