Okay..
Point and shoot camera makes .mov files. From any point of view the vga video it makes is just useless but I’ve had some fun playing around with it. As much as I have dissed video and specialy video in DSLRs I’ve found my self thinkin of buying a video camera. Mov-files are pain in the ass and I’m not even sure can they be edited in any way? (Tried to convert it, kick it, punch it and so on..)
What I’d want from a video camera?
-Resolution (more than vga)
-Fileformat that is easy to edit.
-Quick and easy cut&paste editing software. (text up front, music on the background, 20 seconds from there to there, one minute from there to there and thats it..)
-CHEAP! Like less than 200e.
Why? I don’t even know. I kind a like the idea of doing some videos like these but with better tools, but not even thinking of doing something for real like Eero and Antti are doing on their sites.

The videos
First one is a quick tour around our location at the basement of Mikas studio. Judge for your self but I think its a awsome place to shoot and I’m looking forward to visiting there in the future. Second clip is from a mountain bike shoot I did with Eero and Antti. Nothing fancy, nothing drastic. We had to go out and shoot something and figured that bike will do fine..
And yes, I know these are almost too embarrassing..
