Scouring for Antique Auto Parts

I can recall, with utter accuracy, the exact date when digital video cameras became readily available to the general public-it was precisely the day when I finally understood the ins and outs of analog cameras. Just when you begin to feel up-to-date, technology stands you up at the door. So, in order that you don’t fall behind the times, here are some helpful hints on digital video cameras:

One of the first things I demanded to know when digital video cameras began to get popular was: how are they different? See, I have this sneaking suspicion that new “technologically advanced” products are nothing more than old merchandise in a shiny new dress. I am, of course, ordinarily wrong-and digital video cameras were certainly no exception to this. Comparing old fashioned video cameras to digital ones is akin to comparing CD’s to tapes-in other words, digital video cameras rely on coded information (in the form of 1’s and 0’s) rather than analog data. By employing digital coding, information captured on your digital video camera can be universally swapped with your similarly coded computer-meaning that videos can easily be sent to friends, posted on the internet, or edited on computer programs like Final Cut, Avid, iMovies, and Adobe Premier.
