There was a lot of curiosity as to what my new camera would be and it kept a lot of folks guessing as seen in my Reader Contest post Guess My New Camera, Win A Print. No one guessed the exact model (Sony HXR-MC1), but a few did guess I had my eye on a video camera.

Today after a short but intense round of research, all of 3 days, I bought a new camera. I’ve mentioned this on Twitter (@JimGoldstein) some and have been intentionally vague about it. My intention with being coy about the purchase was to make an announcement with an example of the output from the camera.
