Hikosaemonさんいい勉強になりました　チャンネル登録しときます

[edtomorrow]

I was looking at the Kodak zi8 because of ThatJapanesegirl and other card based cameras as you sugested... In my search I saw the Kodak waterproof version. No much in the way of whistle n bells but for my purposes it el do nicely. And its water proof up to 3meters!!! LOL!!!

[MrCancun77500]

Hi, I will be in tokyo next month, please tell me where to get the best video (canon) at a good price, do the computers they sell there come with english keyboards? please help ! and thank you for your great videos!

[ColdDev4]

anoo..anooo.anoooo

[MrPacMan36]

I got the HF11 and am in love with it!

if you YouTube "canon vixia hf11" my playlist should be at the top of test videos

[zcarenow]

I got this camera a few weeks ago and it is doing well. I wished it had time lapse and slow motion though. :-(

[ToshiToshiToshi]

日本語素晴らしいですね。日本で働かれているのですか？

[zcarenow]

where can i get a great deal on the canon hf-10

[Hikosaemon]

Depends on where you are - if you are in Japan I suggest using kakaku (see the sidebar info). Two other updates/notes:

1) There is now a Canon HF11 which takes even nicer low light video

2) I have since bought a Xacti CA8 that is nowhere near the quality of the canon, but the videos are light and easy to edit (very youtube friendly) and the camera is cheap, waterproof, and fits in your pocket. A better choice if you don't need the absolute best quality video available.

Peace

I'm still looking for digital video camera！！

この動画参考になりました

ありがとうHikosaemonさん

Peace

[Hikosaemon]

There are lots of good cameras, but my conclusion is that Canon is the best quality right now.

とはいえ、ほとんどのYouTuberはXactiを使ってます­ね。Victorintheworldの最新ビデオも最新型のX­actiを使って、結構きれいに写ってますよ。でも、DVDやB­luRayなども考えがあったら、絶対にCanonですね。少し­でも参考になっていたら嬉しいです。

Peace, kaokao1031さん！

Another great vid mate, the romaji annotations really helps us(japanese learners) Keep em comin.

[Hikosaemon]

Hey there, I'm glad to hear appreciation for the annotations, it is a bit of work to put in but nice to know it is helping people out (I like to think "what did I want to see when I was learning Japanese" - I'll look at tagging some onto my latest video as well perhaps, if I get the time

Peace

[Hikosaemon]

あ、ブルーレイね。

俺の場合はせっかくDVDレコーダを買ったばかりのところでブル­ーレイーが出てしまいました。

だからとりあえずしばらく持っているもので良いんですけど、BD­は確かに、今度買いたいね・・・価格・コムをチェックしないと！­（笑）

Peace

[Hikosaemon]

うん、結構気に入ってま～す！

画質の比較は大変でしたけど、できたので、チェックしてね！

Peace

[misctube]

Wow the new video pop-ups sure come in handy for you bro! This was a cool vid, I've got a lot of catching up to do XD I havent been on youtube as often as I had been in the last year hahaha...hope all is well! ~MJ

[Hikosaemon]

Hey dude - I figured it isn't hard for me to do, and it probably helps some people out, so why not? It's a really cool feature that you can add and fix them on the fly. I'm good dude, I hope you're all settled back there stateside!

Peace

[English4You]

"You've got to know, If you want to understand"

Is that what your opening says?

Say, how's the 3 Question video coming for Ericsurf6? Think you can get it done by 6/25? PC lessons with students on 6/26-27.

-Eric

[Hikosaemon]

Well spotted mate! It is a sample intro to a Kiwi Classic by Supergroove (watch?v=clSYkn37iRQ) and their song "You Gotta Know", one of my fave NZ tracks of all time.

And the video is done. Hmmm, and it's awful late... But I think you'll like it, mate.

Peace

[bleach1st]

wow I love the annotations, especially the romaji ones, although I spend the whole time reading them but it's good for my japanese so thanks for adding them and I look forward to seeing the test of all your new cameras :D

[Hikosaemon]

Hey, I'm really glad you appreciate them, and the big test is now up for your viewing pleasure!

Peace

[ElevenColors]

Say... I do some shooting of bands in live houses, mostly on my other channel. Trouble is, my little Sony Cybershot with the builtin mike isn't so good in dark places. Any advice or recommendations?

[Hikosaemon]

Mate! On Kakaku com, you can search cameras video and still by light sensitivity 最低被写体照度 If you look at the link near the bottom of the sidebar for the comparison of the Xacti and the Canon, it shows that the Xacti can shoot in 9 lux or more, then Canon in just 3 (better optics for you again). You can search specifically for a good sensitive camera that way, or get a good camera with a good lighting attachment, I guess. Hope that helps, and I love your vids, dude!

Peace

[ElevenColors]

Now I need to search for what all that means BUT now I have a place to start! Thx!

[kadRYU]

aaa

[Hikosaemon]

ooo!

[myargonauts]

those annotations must have taken some time, but they're great for those of us learning Japanese.

I'm looking forward to your next vid where you compare the image quality of your various cameras.

[Hikosaemon]

Jason mate! I want to see myself. The key will be how well I use my editing software than the video itself (YT does not yet take ACVHD files directly), but given that I can take similar resolution on my other cameras, it will be interesting to see if there is a difference when they are all made 30 fps, 640 x 480 resolution, 1000 kps. The optics of the HF10 should still make it look better, but I wonder by how much. Plus the wide screen as well, it should make a nice space for subtitles!

Peace

[alexkx3]

Wierd, I was actually thinking of buying a camera when I go to Japan this week! Helpful info Cheers!

[Hikosaemon]

Glad to be of help! Note that these cameras are available overseas for similar prices, and with English manuals, but I always think that you can't really do better than a digital camera as a souvenir of Japan, just to show off and say you got it here! I hope you have a good trip, and am glad to be of any help.

Peace

[shitashii]

Those romaji/english subtitles must have taken you forever. O.O That was really all I could think about. Very cool though.

[Hikosaemon]

Hehe, weeell, it wasn't too long (about 1 and a half hours), and it doesn't really take much brain power as I am just writing what I said. Just a hassle. I guess it is about 20 minutes to do subs for each minute of the vid. I figured it might be helpful to some people, and this is the type of thing that I would have wanted to see on YouTube if it existed 10 years ago.

Peace

[Fourthworth]

価格.com便利ですよね。私も愛用しています。

[Hikosaemon]

うん、本当に便利ですね。買い物をすると、楽天も使いますが、情­報収集にも価格.comは本当に最高ですね。先ほど、Kakak­uのXactiとCanonの比較へのリンクもサイドバーの下の­方に付けました。こういう機能が本当に助かりますね。

コメントをありがとうございました！

Peace

[Kenshinhina]

OMG I just wanted to thank you for the Awesome Subtitles for In Romaji and English THey Are Soo Soo Helpful, and if it's not too much work for you I hope you will make more videos with subs like these ^_^

~Thanks

[Hikosaemon]

Kenshinhina, I'm glad you appreciate it. It's hard work, but for comments like that, I'll keep at it! Also, on my channel page you can see I have arranged my vids into playlists showing J, E, and bilingual videos that you may like. Romaji subtitles are new, but if you like them and they don't get in the way too much, I'll keep them going.

Peace

[hertears]

Hi. I like canon too.

well...why you don't choose sanyo xacti?

[Hikosaemon]

Good question! I actually posted a link to a spec comparison and my reasons in the sidebar just now, so you can see there. The Xacti is a great camera, and if you want something flexible, portable that takes good video, it is probably still the cheaper and better choice (and hence, it is more popular on Kakaku). For me, I like to video rugby and surfing, so I wanted good optics, and the size is small enough for me. I may still get a Xacti in future, we'll see...

Peace

[hertears]

Thank you for your answer.

I'm very interesting HD camera now.

Your opinion served as a reference for me :D

[cruxay]

Have yet to need a video camera. I instead just stick to the video option on my (my gf's actually) Sony Cybershot. Really good camera!

Even though I have no intention of buying, I love browsing around Akiba, Bic Camera or Yodobashi. There is just so much to look at and fiddle with.

One case however, in the uramichi in Akiba: they were selling the new color DS for a lot more than sofplay was. Perhaps they were trying to scam us though =).

[Hikosaemon]

Cybershot is pretty good, actually - and your vids look pretty clear. Sites like Kakaku are great not just for helping you find the shops where a product is cheap, but also saying "I know a shop where I can get this for ***" has gotten me big discounts (like 30% big) at some bigger chains. Akiba is awesome, but it has changed a lot, even over the last year. It's still fresh most times I go and check it out.

Peace!

[runnyrunny999]

I wish I could edit like yours. It's very nice of you giving us English subtitled just on timing. ''Just On Timing'' Is this correct to say?

iina sono Cannon no kamera. choudai^^; Haha...

[Hikosaemon]

Hey runnyrunny999! I like your editing too, your last video was very funny! The english that you want to say is "the English subtitles are perfectly in synch", or the "English matches the timing of the words". "Matches" or "In-Synch" are the best expressions.

And no, this one's mine. Get your own! (LOL)

I still haven't even used it properly yet! Give me a chance!

Peace

[rucheombura]

Information is considerably abundant this time It becomes reference very much

design is also very good =)

Two kinds of subtitles are very intelligible

I am also looking forward to the next week

[Hikosaemon]

I like these annotations very much! If I put subtitles into the video directly, it takes more time, and the characters are not as clear. Plus, I can edit and correct these comments at any time, so it is very convenient. They take a bit of work, but I like the final outcome, and I'm glad that you like them too. Next week, I want to try doing a fun video and to try some new things, including by using these tools. It should be fun! Rucheombura san, thanks for your comments, as always!

Peace

[ericsurf6]

I've got two cameras, but waching this makes me want to buy another.  Very informative video. Well done! I like the bilingual annotations. How long did it take you to type and set those up?

[Hikosaemon]

Haha, they took longer than I was hoping! Just doing English takes about an hour, but doing Japanese probably added an extra 30 minutes to that. I thought it would be a bit easier. I guess this is another incentive to keep the videos short! If people like them, I might continue them though. So far the feedback is positive, and I love that Japanese and non-Japanese can watch the same video and comment together. Cheers mate!

Peace

こんちには　彦さん

いいですね～Canonのカメラ。Canonレンズとデザインが­好きで、カメラはずっとCanon派です。たぶん生涯Canon­です。

４ステップは同じですね。とても共感します。

し　か　し、自分の場合　１２３　４!で購入にならず、自分に負けて、再び１に戻る事も結構ありま­す・・・。

店頭特別セールとか、セット商品なんかが目に入るとヤバイですね­・・・。そんな時は、とりあえずお茶か、ビル陰で一服して冷静さ­を取り戻します。（自分との戦いです）

そして、晴れて高額商品を購入した喜びは、「俺って生きてるっ」­の実感をですね！（ローン含む）

とにかくカメラ購入おめでとうございます。

[Hikosaemon]

DinosaurJpさん！同じ感覚ですね（笑）。僕もじっっっ­と、数ヶ月ゆっくり検討して、それで店頭で買いました。まだちゃ­んとためしていないので、今度のビデオでみせますね。いつも、コ­メントをありがとうございます！

Peace

[KIZUMAN]

HDいいなぁ～俺はただのデジカメで最近はちょっと使いずらいで­す・・・。

I want!!高いHD！！

[Hikosaemon]

動画がきれいだけどね、ファイルが凄く重いんですよ。結構編集し­にくくて、多分相当なスペックのPCじゃな いと、かなり使いづらいですよ。特に、YouTubeにはHDだ­って、低画質に変換しないといけないので、 そんなに変わらないはずですね。

まぁ、今度の動画で違いがあるかどうかチェックしますね。！

コメントをありがとう！Kizumanさんもう動画を頑張ってく­ださいね！

Peace

[ukidesu]

自分もカメラ買いたくなりましたｗ

次回が楽しみですｗ

編集がんばってください＾＾ｂ

[Hikosaemon]

ukidesu!

うん、特に色々のカメラからの動画を編集して、ひとつのビデオで­YouTubeにアップロードすると違いがあるのかどうか見てみ­たいですね。次のビデオも頑張ります！

毎度コメントをありがとうね！

Peace

[dosharam]

another good video :)

thanks !

[Hikosaemon]

I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for the comment!

Peace

[Hikosaemon]

今度同じように、英語で喋って、日本語でこういう字幕を付けてみ­たいね。感想・評価を是非ね！

Peace

[Hikosaemon]

Making two sets of subtitles was hard work - it caused the delay in going live, but I hope you like it.

PEACE!
