Full camera kit with all the parts.

EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY video camera.
STUNNING image quality
STUNNING colour saturation
SUPERB audio quality.
Rugged, solidly-built, full-featured, awesome camera.

This is an Standard Defintion camera, however it was the top-rated and most-widely used professional video camera in it’s class for many years, used extensively by all the major television broadcast networks around the world – BBC, CNN, NBC, CBC, etc.

One of the main features that the pros loved about this camera is that  was (and still is) one of the very best low-light cameras ever made. This camera produces beautiful footage even in very low-light situations where other pro cameras produced footage so noise-filled that it was unusable.

The bottom line is that it breaks my heart to have to sell my two PD150s because they are so great. In fact, if I don’t get a decent price for them I will keep them because they are still perfect for youTube and Vimeo video and DVDs.

Why I am selling: I have reluctantly upgraded my main equipment to HD and it costs a small fortune, and therefore I’m selling off these two Sony’s to offeset my cost.

Here are links to some videos shot by this camera by me.

This camera is PERFECT for students who want to learn professional video production techniques but can’t afford professional HD equipment.

The results are in and it’s no surprise. According to a recent Internet-use study conducted by Yahoo researchers entitled Who Says What to Whom on Twitter, Twitter is not really functioning like a social network. Instead, it actually resembles an information-sharing hub where a mere 0.05% of users “steal almost half of the spotlight.”

Of the 260 million tweets with URLs that the study analyzed, almost 50% of the tweets consumed were created by what they called “elite” users who fall into four categories: media, celebrities, organizations and bloggers. So-called “Ordinary” users made up the remainder.

Similar to previous findings, the study concludes that Twitter is far more like an information clearing center than a true social network, with the top Tweet-producers getting huge follower totals but not following their content consumers in return. Twitter has become an incredibbly powerefully and free advertising vehicle for the few while not much more for everyone else.

This study delves deeper into the production and flow of tweets than previous studies with an intersting finding: While ordinary users consume a high number of tweets from celebrities and bloggers, those celebrities primarily listen to other famous people’s tweets and those bloggers listen to other bloggers on Twitter, begging the question “Is this really social networking?”

In recent surveys, 34% of respondents said they got news online within the past 24 hours, as opposed to 31% who favored newspapers.  A full 41% said they got most of their news online, 10% more than those who said they got most of their news from a newspaper.

Here’s my first posting. It’s a song I haven’t heard since last year’s FIFA Worldcup Championships in South Africa and I found it while hanging out on youTube this weekend. It’s by a Colombian artist called Shakira who I never heard of till I found this video. Not only do I love this song – it’s got an awesome beat – but I love the happy people in it, especially the kids. It just makes you want to jump up and dance!! Enjoy! Here’s the youTube link just in case someone sends you this post in an email and you can’t play the video there.[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRpeEdMmmQ0[/youtube]

Facebook has brought us many firsts, but one of the biggest is that participants now use their real names and share real information about their real lives. This is new. And it’s big, revealing something profound about us and our human society. It used to be that staying anonymous on the Internet was of paramount importance. Everybody had a “handle”, a code name that hid our true identity. Facebook changed all that making  it possible, even desireable, for people to be themselves on the web for the very first time. We’re watching one of the greatest social transformations in history unfold. What does it mean and where will it take us?
