The Situation

With the baby duedate approaching, it was time to join the 21st century and upgrade my camcorder. My old miniDV-based Canon ZR200 just made the video creation/editing process too cumbersome and it didn't record in HD. After a bit of shopping I found a Canon HF200 at Nebraska Furniture Mart with 18 months, no interest! While closing the order, the sales guy asked me if I was gonna use the camera with PC (by which I am sure he meant Windows) or Mac. I answered "Linux!" :)
