no, it's not a car... lol I went and picked up a new Sony Handycam HDR-CX160 video camera. has lots of positive reviews for low light shooting, shoots 1080p with 5.1 sound, 42x optical zoom, some stabilization shit, and 16gb flash memory. holds up to 6 hours of 1080 shooting without needing a memory card, and I can plug it through the USB in my car. the guy at Sears that I talked to seemed to know a thing or two about our hobby and said that without spending upwards of a grand on an external microphone and other shit, wind noise is pretty much inevitable but he said this camera pretty well filters out a lot of the noise.
anyway I've been sitting here fucking around with it for a bit at Tye's place and well, I think it should be good for what we do.

No one wants to know what you do at Tye's house with an HD camera
Edit: congrats on the purchase

yeah he took a gigantic dump and I thought about filming the aftermath, but I decided it seemed unlikely that anyone would want to see that

here's a couple test videos. still getting used to the settings and controls, my hands are almost too damn big for this thing. so these videos are pretty pointless, just checking out picture and sound quality.
here's Tye being a gangster
here's some wind noise testing, 60-75 mph with the driver window cracked, had to move the camera around a ton obviously since I was driving
and here's a clip of my car driving away, the wind was blowing straight at the camera so I wanted to see how much noise/crackle it would pick up standing still.
next comes editing practice.

The sound on that camera is awesome. You really can't hear the wind noise but you can pick the car up perfecty. Great pick up. Time to get a van and tour the country. Giggity?

Nice vids. Looks crisp and is pretty good on cutting wind noise. Low light test vid? What are you editing with?
If you can look for a Sony Vegas torrent.
