Ingraham" From: "Emile Tobenfeld (a.k.a Dr. T)" Subject: Camcorder recommendations Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Hi, I'm looking for a camera with as many as possible of the below features. Currently using a Lumix LX 7, which does surprisingly well for a $400 camera mainly designed for stills/ 1. Compact 2. Tapeless 3. 1080 24p. 30 p. (60 i optional) 4. Better (i.e. less) compression than the 34:1 of my Lumix LX - 7. 5. Mac- compatible software. 6. No 4 gig file limit. 7. High speed shooting for slow mo. 8. Good optics -- ideally comparable with Lumix 9. Better zoom ratio than LX 7 10. Ideally can shoot high quality 5 MP or better stills. 11. Long shutter speed shooting for in camera blurs 12. Good low light performance. My Lumix LX 7 has all but 4, 5, 6, 7, 9 Thanks. -- -- Emile If you can walk, you can surely DANCE My photography can be viewed at http://www.flickr.com/photos/22231918@N06/collections/72157603627170351/ My videos can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/Tobenfeld
