Interesting gadget. Just wondering how much do you spend on electronic gadgets, figures and gundams and in other stuff, you must have one hell of an income to be able to acquire all those goodies. I keep playing on the € millions (european lottery) hoping to make the jackpot and get out of here and get all the goodies I want and live well till the rest of my life.

Water proof is definitely a great feature, looking forward to more vids from you.

I figured it was iMovie. You might want to look into Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premier. You shouldn't have any trouble with file with those programs. Double-check just to be sure, but I'm fairly positive they'd suit you more than iMovie if you decide to really get into movie editing. I never liked iMovie that much, personally. It's very limiting.

What I like about the Xacti CA65 is that it's designed like a gun's handle, making it easy to carry ^^;

I though the casing was rather cool ^^;

Nice camera! I've got so much to buy this year, maybe I'll ask the camera for Christmas. The video is really clear for something that size...nice teaser for the trooper and darth.

I am very interested by this Xacti, but I have a question for you Danny !
The screen looks to be very good, but is it possible to play video that you put on the SD card ? I mean, like divx movie (deathnote episode !). I don't think so, but maybe... It would be cool.

waterproof up to 1.5 meters huh... cool! sounds like you can take some pretty interesting underwater shots Danny. ^^ although a swimming stormtrooper doesn't sound too armor friendly. ^^;

I tried but it wouldn't play. Besides, there is no headphone socket.

Video cameras aren't really in my "To Buy list" this year. Maybe in 2008, still got three things to get before the end of the year. A D40, ps3 and an lcd monitor. ^^

I like that the Xacti is waterproof though, that would really make it useful. And that case looks like a gun holster or something. heheh! It could probably pass as a stormtrooper weapon. lolz.

if you used final cut pro you d'ont have to convert your mpeg 4 files. You can have realtime playback but if you put some transitions or effect you need to do some preview render. Real time editing with effect only work with DV DVC PRO HD and HDV codec with final cut pro 5.1

I like the size of that one. It would be nice for backpacking or biking trips. Just might have to see if it's available in the US . . . .

Looks like a pretty good camera for quick shots. The holster bag looks cool indeed ;p
Hehe, people really don't look surprised when walking past a storm trooper and darth vader in harajuku ;p Seemed like one of the side streets, not very crowded as takeshita dori ;p.

I still have a DV camera from Panasonic (an NV-GS400), quite a big sucker, but great picture quality. Recording to pc is no problem, but conversion of DV video is a pain in the ass. many video editing tools like premiere & vegas, don't really work well with xvid or h264...
So you can be happy without all the conversion hassles :)

I own a JVC GR-DX77u, which like, still records on analog stuff (Mini DV's). I've really wanted to get a new one, but I figure a really good computer comes first.

kool

i wanna own one waterproof video cam...but one thing stuck me to buy is question about " is it only usable when going to beach"...> <...

Yea, the xacti line always seems nice, because you can just throw it in a bag, and have a video camera.
Though are they HD in the new generations? The screens aspect ratio looks a bit wonky, though it could just be the picture. But having a waterproof camera would be really cool, especially last time I went scuba diving, I couldn't take any pictures :<
(and the link to the video is 404ing for me, dunno if you took it down cause of bandwidth)

Looks handy.

oooo my friend had like one of those older models from 3 years ago.. i want one!!

I actually kinda like the case ^_^; Reminds me of a gun holster.

this looks good, a small and neat package, decent quality and more importantly waterproof/sand proof. Amused by the video format + Macs comment. ^_^

vanish proof? LOL
