Trying Out Something New
While all the rest of my friends here at Off Wing use pretty high end equipment to shoot their photos, I've gotten by on my side of the shop with some decidedly less expensive equipment. A little more than a year ago, I purchased a Casio Exilim EX-Z850 digital camera, which, for the most part, I've used to shoot a variety of interviews. Whether I use it as a hand held, or mounted on a tripod, I've been very happy with the quality of the image I've gotten from the Casio.
Here's the latest video I shot, an impromptu interview with Washington Caps draftee Andrew Glass. I shot this early on Saturday afternoon a few minutes after the final scrimmage of this year's development camp:
With another Summer upon me, it's time to experiment again. So last night I strode into a local consumer electronics shop, and picked up the Aiptek A-HD+ 1080p, a hand held HD video camera for less than half of what I paid for the Casio Exilim.
I'll be testing the Aiptek out over the next few weeks and let you know how things work out.
