Allison and I stayed up all night and headed to the top of Tumwater hill about 4:30 am to watch the sun rise. Still in the honeymoon phase with my new<br /> Panasonic HMC-150, still getting to know it, to understand it's strengths, weaknesses and limitations. A beautiful sunrise. Saw a rabbit while up there, he made it in to the video, and helped me<br /> realize what music I wanted to cut this to. "Time" is one of my all time favorite songs. I know I'm not supposed to use it, but I could think of nothing else that seemed more fitting to me than this song. I'm not making any money on this video, and I gave credit, so we'll see what happens...</p> <p>At full resolution some of the darker areas seem a bit noisy.  I've been quite impressed with the camera overall so far - caveat; the chassis seems cheap to me.  It's all plastic.  After coming from the DVX-100b and it's solid magnesium alloy chassis, the HMC seriously seems like it could never be as durable as the DVX. Not that I plan on dropping it - and I realize that plastics are a phenomenal material. In all actuality, it's probably fine, it just <em>feels</em> cheap.</p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIuY-rePSw8&amp;feature=channel_page" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIuY-rePSw8&amp;feature=channel_page</a></p> <p>Any words of encouragement or condemnation are respected and/or appreciated!
