ONE MOVIE, ONE TAKE
Posted on September 22nd, 2007 by Joy Schwabach
The new Canon camcorder that comes out in October will contain a 40-gigabyte hard drive, letting the shooter store 15 hours of standard video or 5.5 hours in high definition. With a whole lot of planning you could theoretically shoot an entire movie in one run.
The new camcorder is called the HG10 (another mysterious name) and is expected to retail for $1,300. As a practical matter, discount stores will knock a hundred or two off that immediately. The HG10 weighs just a fraction over 1 pound and easily fits in one hand. More info and all that stuff at the company Web site: Canon.com.
