Time to change the thread. Looks like a few people are getting a little bored. So what's news? What have we all been up to. I'm always talking about my life, what's everyone else up to?
To keep with tradition I should let you all know where I'm at. Chelle and i have finally decided on colours for the nursery and have gone out to buy the paint. Been hard cause we have no idea what the sex of bubs is so we needed to pick neutral colours. We've gone with greens and purples. The walls are pretty much prep'd and are ready to go this weekend. TDL has had the handyman bug since he moved into his new place and has been bugging me to start painting so he can help. So even if I didn't want to do it his persistant 'Are we there yet' will get us over the line. As usual shall take some pix when done and post them up here.
I'm also looking to get a Digital Camcorder b4 bubs comes into this world. I've done plenty of reading on these little buggers and they all seem to be pretty much the same. I hear the new 3CCD models have better colour representation but they are all quite expensive. Any tips and hints on these camcorders would be appreciated.
I've been looking at the following models:
- Panasonic NV-GS70a, NV-GS120, NV-GS200
- Canon MVX200i, MVX250i
The RRP prices on all of these are alot higher than what i've seen them on sale for. Anyone know of any others I should be looking at? Anyone know where I can pick any of them for a good price?

As discussed:
1. How it feels in your hand (vertical vs horizontal design)
2. Resolution
3. Manul control if you want to be creative
4. Good optical zoom might be handy
5. Quality of stills is secondary since you have a still camera already
6. Picture quality in dark conditions
7. Focus in difficult/changing conditions
The rest is all quite good these days.
That would be my list, in no particular order.
