GBTV #623 (HD) | Fart Detector, DMC-GF1, Snow Globe ...

Robert Clain and Miguel Salas created the Fart Detector as their Senior Project at Cornell. I'd prefer to stay far away from this one! Panasonic announced the Lumix DMC-GF1. It has 12.1 megapixel stills and artistic presets called My Colors to give you film-like beauty without post work. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a mic input. Gadgets and Gizmos has a frame that has a proximity sensor. You put in a real photo, and when someone gets close, snow will swirl in front of the picture. The BookArc is a great holder for a MacBook, MacBook Air or MacBook Pro when you want to use it in Closed Clamshell Mode. Creative Vado got an update. There's a 4GB version and and 8GB version, plus they'll be releasing Vado Central for OSX that will make it easy to import video into iMovie. Brief 623 was financially powered by a NEW sponsor, eHarmony.com. eHarmony matches singles based on psychological compatibility and this blew my mind ... there are an average of 235 eHarmony member marriages a day! This promo code is trickier than the rest. It's EHGBTV and obviously it stands for E Harmony Geek Brief TV. The code yields you a free month when you subscribe for three.

Nope, you're wrong. I own the GF1 and looking the manual it explicitly says :

External microphone: none

Hi

About the mic in the gf1 panasonic :

Panasonic DMW MS1 Microphone

You can attach a stereo mic on it! It's not clear at the specs but it's connected at the remote mini jack!

ciao Valentijn

coz Cali Lewis or whatever her name is so dumb n i bet u she doesn't even know anything about cameras

[wasitpras]

... actually she does reflect the majority of prosumer market who now looks for still cameras with HD video capabilities .. which will provide an all in one solution in documenting their creative contents ... so the mic or at least an external mic input is definitely required to be appealing.

I dontl understand why she disses a camera just cause it doesn't have a mic input! Its not a video camera it is a still camera with video! It doesn't NEED a mic input. If you want a video camera, get a video camera. Sorry, but what a stupid thing to say! See, another reason to dump a MAC like a hot stone. Nothing works on a MAC. Useless computers! Like being back in the 1980's!

Hi, was there any other difference, other than software and storage, between the old and new Vado HD? No Image Stabilization? Macro?

[shootoed]

Vado is about $50 cheaper in most stores.
