[Cameras for Coasters]

The DCR-PC55 does look like a cool little 1CCD camera but I did some reasearch on it and it does't allow any lens attachments whatsoever. If I do buy one of these small cameras I need one with the ability to attach a wide angle lens and UV filter.

 

It seems though that Sony has released a 3CCD (3 chips, one for each color) counterpart to this one, the DCR-PC1000.

 

I went out to my local camera store today and compaired the two, the PC1000 looked like it has the very same body type as the PC55 but it's LCD screen isn't as big and the top part of it was larger because, I assume, the 30mm lens and viewfinder (the PC55 has no viewfinder) takes up more space. To my joy it did have the ability to attach a wide angle lens and filter but both the store clerk and I were unable to find a infrared nightshot mode which is normally standard on all sony Camcorders.

I too am wondering what type of camera is the lipstick camera. Is it a three CCD? And what does it use for video, flash memory cards or mini DV tapes?

 

And no I do not intend to use it for coaster POVs' I'm a film student and am interested for something smaller than what I have (a canon XL2) for situations where a big camera can get in the way.

As much as I'd hate to say it I just found TPR off google a week ago, but I have enjoyed this past week of reading the forums and I hope to be a long time poster from now on.

 

As an introduction I have prepared a four month portrait Odyssey for your enjoyment (and my shame).

This is me in September.

This is how I got from then to now.

This is me now (slightly out of focus).
