Drove down to Studley in Warwickshire (a small village just south of Birmingham) yesterday with Craig from work to get a demo for the camera I’ve been considering buying. It was a boiling hot day – so not the most ideal weather conditions for a long car journey! But it was a good chance to chat with Craig, because you don’t always get that much time to have a decent conversation at work.

Anyway, we were given a demo for about an hour, going through all the features of the camera, and I decided to take the plunge and buy myself a camera kit!! It’s a Sony HDV camera – which means it can record in High Definition, as well as DVCam and DV – so the quality’s really good, and hopefully it should be pretty future proof as well. And I’ve bought it on 12 months interest free credit, so I don’t have to worry about paying for it just yet!

There are still a few more bits that I need to buy to make it into a full kit, but it’ll do me for now, and I’ll get the rest when I can afford it!
