I suppose as an artist we should care about capturing transient moments – and for me that could be  the artwork I do,  the Art Openings I go to and cover here at ArtNewYorkCity or Conferences I attend and cover at WebMetricsGuru.

As I am a high tech junkie – I like gadgets and decided I needed a video camera to take MP4 videos – decent length / size and also function as a player for podcasts and transcribed online videos as well as a sound recorder.   Well, I found a reasonably good device that does all of that and more in the Optimus DV-5040 5.0MP Digital Camera Camcorder  which I bought a couple of weeks ago.

I took a couple of videos that you can see, along with my initial comments and a review prior to attending Ad-Tech in NYC earlier this month; I had a press pass as a blogger for Know More Media – for my WebMetricsGuru.com blog and I wanted to take some videos …and I did!

You can see an online video I took of a unique product at the Ad-Tech show and another YouTube video of Out of This World @ PS 122 -http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48p-sQh4Za0.

Overall, I’m happy with the Digital Video Camera I bought and the only gotchas are – low battery life and not so great in low light situations…but for 99 bucks, or less, it’s a fantastic deal.
