I solemnly vow to NEVER leave home without it!

Haha that sounds familiar Denise[] But sometimes it's also nice to just watch and enjoy[]

And what do you think about it now John? You carry your camera every day?


The problem is that when I would do it, I would only take 1 lens. And I bet every time I would spot something amazing to take a photo off...it would require one of my other lenses. That's how it works for me [A]

Well, my S95 is always with me - which was the main reason I got it. Came in handy the other day, when I came across a beautiful sunset from the top level of the airport parking garage in Boston (coming home from a day trip to NJ). But no, I don't bring a dSLR everywhere I go. [:$]


But, relevant to the previous post, thesummerJazz concert series started up last week. My two kids were outnumbered by the three cameras - I brought the 5DII (with 24-105mm and 70-200mm), the S95, and the Vixia HF M41 camcorder.

Not to completely derail this thread, but how

Maybe you should get a T3 in every color to match your outfits?

Not to completely derail this thread, but how's the Vixia HF M41, John? Would you recommend it or is there another you would?

So far, I've found it to be great. It does very well in relatively low light (plus I have the hotshoe light if needed), images are clean and artifact-free. Honestly, I don't have much of a benchmark for comparison - my previous camcorder was a standard-def Panasonic miniDV - small sensor, lots of noise, and a 42x optical zoom (but only digital IS).


Frankly, I really wish there was a TDP-like site that offered Bryan-quality comparisons of Canon camcorders!!


As it was, I made my decision based mainly on spec - the HF M41 seemed most analogous to the 5DII in some ways, i.e. it uses the same sensor models as which cost substantially more, and the added features weren't compelling for my limited experience with video. Based on specs, I liked the fact that is does not have extra pixel density (which is often included for higher MP still photos, but I've got that well-covered), so the pixel sizes are as large as possible for HD video capture with that overall sensor size.


Not sure if that helps, but so far, I'm happy with it!
