I wished I had a Mamba; a black one if you please. I can learn that Japanese, and if I don't, all I'd have to do is press the little red button. (Or is it silver?) Then I'll have the nicest Pana footage, for all the world to see.

I wished I had a 3 ccd cam, any if you please (as long it is made by Panasonic). I can learn to use it, and if I don't, all I'd have to do is press the button. Then I'll have the nicest beach footage, for only me to see.

Actually, the PV-DV702 is a very nice cam---just not as good as the PV-DV852. Too bad they're both discontinued. I would just keep your cam, because I'm sure it'll do the trick quite nicely. And do send me some pics! Okay, just to stay on topic, I wished I had a PV-DV953; a silver one if you please. I can learn to use it, and if I don't, I can always keep it in my bag. Then I'll have the 2nd nicest Pana cam, even if I don't use it.

ahh yes

cinegama works on this
and low light so dark and crisp
maybe i might bring one in
but is it really worth the risk....?

HELL YEAH!!!!
