Matt It seems that progress in hardware comes much quicker than in software. Pinnacle has had some serious problem with their Studio 8 with "all" cameras and that includes MicroMV. They are now reporting good results with Studio 8 and MicroMv if you have a high speed processor (about 2) and Windows XP.
Sony says a faster processor will eliminate choppy audio and video in their Movieshaker.
In reference to the post (apoil) about the zoom button on the IP-5. The problem is perceived and not real. Yep, it's close. Nope, never had a problem with any of the buttons.
See you this week-end. Ed
