Calvin, How do you do it?!?!?! That looks like a fun toy. Since I haven't learned how to take decent still pictures, I was thinking of going this route. I don't even want to know how much that would cost me. I'm sure an underwater photography class will be far cheaper. I cant wait to see the new CT productions!

I'm sure my first attempts will yield really poor results, but eventually when I'm able to use skills developed in these waters in clear tropical waters, I'll have some good films to share.

Oh yeah sure......As if anyone needs an excuse for tropical dive travel.

It's a nice rig, Calvin. I've been using a Light and Motion setup for the HC3 Hi Def camera for a little over a year now. It was amazing seeing the quality of the video on a hi-def TV. It's ALMOST better than being there in person!

The biggest problem is that it just gets more expensive from here on out. I had to buy a Hi-Def TV, I still need a good DVD authoring program that does quality Hi-/Def, and then once the Blu-Ray/HD-DVD battle is settled (if it ever is), a new burner and DVD player to really do things right. Of course, if you ask me, it's worth it!

Calvin,
You wouldn't be looking to get rid of your Casio point and shoot rig anytime soon now? With all the HD video to be shot, wouldn't want to deprive it of good use... (looking for an emoticon depicting slight bits of sarcasm) had to ask though.

My website is here. Most of the videos are from before I got the Hi-Def. I also have a comparison page to show the difference between Digital 8 and Hi-Def.
