In the market for a video camera? Andy Ihnatko has been testing out a variety of options at all price points, and talks about his picks for best performers in both the standard and compact categories. Andy reviews his experiences with pocket cameras from Flip, Kodak and Aiptek, explains why the day of the consumer tape camera is over, and how the barriers associated with tapeless cameras have come down, especially when it comes to iMovie. You can get into the high-definition video game for under $200, but what about editing? Andy talks about iMovie ’08 and the transition, when you’re ready, to Final Cut Express. If you’re heading out to Macworld Conference & Expo in January, you’ll want to hear Andy talk about his early plans and schedule.
