ile. I'm hip to most of the prosumer cameras etc., but I wanted
to get your opinions on what you like and so on. The big question is which
HD format to go with and why?
I will be using FCP Studio 2 on a Mac, and ULead Studio or maybe Vegas 6
on a PC.

All good advice, and those are the names I'd be looking at. Depending on
where you want to go, I've seen a few prosumer HD camcorders hitting the
market the last few months with some pretty good 1/3" CCD specs at 1080i.
The current craze is to get Carl Zeiss lenses. I have one of those on my
Canon still EOS and it's fantastic, so one might assume the motion lenses
are of the same quality.

Definitely unless you're going very budget and buying someone else's
leftover SD gear BUY HD for your initial investments.

I hear good things also about Premier, but I just couldn't stand the
interface/GUI. _SO_ not intuitive. For basic home edits something like Ulead
would be economical, but I still have to recommend on the PC platform to go
Vegas.

The crowd of cops, firepeople, widows and the general bereaved

Now, no matter how you come down on the issue of violence
and the concept of "just war", Gere was using his fame as a
platform to jam his views down the throats of the proles.
