deegs123 0 #1 July 6, 2005 My wife new I wanted to start flying video. Bought me a camera for my birthday yesterday. I need feedback from experienced flyers. It's a Panasonic PV-DV102-will this do a good job for me? Will be flying tandem videos with my skydiving partner.Help!

Superfletch 1 #2 July 6, 2005 Tim... it may or may not be a good camera, however, take my advice... if she purchased it new, take it back and get a sony. You won't regret it. I'm sure she meant well, but most camera flyers use sonys. Just ask around at the dz and tell me if you find one of us that isn't using a sony. If for no other reason you'll be able to borrow our patch cords, batteries, lenses, etc. I just purchased another Sony PC105 off the internet yesterday... I paid $421 shipped. You'll be able to find something similar if you look around. Also, you can purchase new relatively cheap too. It's up to you but like I said... we all use Sonys. And what's up?!?!?! Are you honing in on my job? hahahahaha Didn't even know you were interested in shooting tandem videos. If you need any help just let me know and I'll teach you everything I know. :) Oh yeah, Happy Birthday! What kind of helmet setup are you interested in? Or have you even given it that much thought yet? See you on DZ!
