My camera - yes one of those monsters - superb picture, great controls, gets me access often. But insaley heaqvy and big so no good for many situations - hence my little pc4.

The trick is to use the camera for its good points, and with small cams the joy is the freshness of the shots. Bung it on all auto sometimes and run with the action so to speak - get down and dirty and the video you shoot can be very persuasive.

Scared filmamker to camera shots are great - considor a wide convertor if you find you like this style.

On some things I have filmed I have taken my big cam for me to use and given my small cam to a participant in the event to run about with - often a kid - you really can get some great video that way.
