OK, well, I still want that [http://thepete.com/ive-found-my-next-camcorder/|hard-drive-based JVC camcorder I blogged on not too long ago], but I stumbled across a great alternative in [http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/27/bella-catapult-enables-camcorder-to-ipod-recording/|a post] at Engadget.Com for anyone who likes the MiniDV camera they have right now but would love to cut out the video-capture-process--it's called the Bella Catapult and it's a small device that will write DV directly to your iPod or any other USB-based external hard drive. Pretty damn sweet, huh?
It'll run you "under $300" (though I don't think you should expect a $1.99 price tag) and will be available in the second half of 2006. Read more about it on it's [http://www.bella-usa.com/Catapult.htm|official product page] at Bella-USA.Com.
My only hope is that it will allow you to record at different sample rates to save on space. I'd love to still grab [http://thepete.com/ive-found-my-next-camcorder/|that JVC HD-based cam] and get this for my old GL-2. Since I plan on doing 2-camera shots, this will allow me to not have to capture anything. That would be so NICE!!
Let's hear it for NICE!! WEEEEE!! YAY, NICE!!!
Sorry, the caffeine just kicked in... :)
