Thanks Marc for that info --- a very impressive little camcorder, I especially enjoyed the "colourful " description of its audio shortcomings .

Pleased as punch to host 2 newly hatched Olive-backed Sunbirds in our Palm Cove backyard.
It was 15 days incubation and now another 15 days till they fly the nest.
In around 6-8 days we'll get to see their tiny faces. They become highly susceptible to attack from the local Butcher birds, so I have a Baretta gel blaster on hand, to give them a nasty (harmless) kick up the backside should I see them hovering.
