[iBook] Was - Mac friendly DV cameras?

FWIW, I personally would invest in a good quality digital still camera for
your trip instead of digital camcorder. Camcorder¹s require a lot of time to
capture a good image, time that you¹re not enjoying the Œmoment¹. With a
camera ­ you take your shot and get back to enjoying the experience. Slide
shows in iMovie using the panning feature provide a much smoother effect
that satisfies your viewers.

That being said ­ you need a tripod for your digital camcorder. Make sure
you buy extra batteries ­ and get ones with the longest life possible (6
hours are good). You¹ll also need to bring plenty of blank tapes.

Practice around town before you go to get the feel for panning speed,
lighting considerations and how your camera autofocus works. Sound is also a
personal choice. Remember that whatever the camera operator says will be
very distinct on the film.
