Greetings from a newbie in Pasadena at DVinfo.net

Greetings Everyone,

I literally just received my Canon HG10 today from the UPS guy and am charging it as I write.

I bought the camcorder after reading through all the comments on this and other boards (was considering a HV20). The purpose of the camcorder is to capture the arrival and life of my first child who is due in the next week or so. I hope to get good enough with the camcorder to leave her some nice videos to remember.

As the title suggests, I'm completely new to the world of video but have enjoyed digital photography for a number of years. I hope to learn quite a bit from all the accumulated knowledge on this forum and ask for your patience as I plan on asking a number of newbie questions.

If there are any folks in the Pasadena/LA area, feel free to drop me a line.

Peter,

Congratulations.....I hope your little one may have already safely arrived by now.....

A great resource right there in Pasadena for assistance/accessories/demos for your new camera is Samy's. See Carlos or Jim...they're great, even if you purchased it elsewhere....

You'll find this DVi network is the best, but when you need to get out of the house for a bit to "get some rest"....then you have a local option.

Best Wishes From A "veteran" daddy,

John Reilly
