Digitize Your Old Negatives with the Nagative & Film Scanner
Polaroid is officially out of the film-making business and I am still saving up for the Nikon D60. It only means one thing: digital cameras are set to conquer old school cameras especially those that require negatives.

Panasonic AG-HMC150 Camcorder: HD performance with simplicity of digital still camera; shoots on SDHC
It took Japanese CE giant a full six years to finally releasing a true HD successor to the popular but aging AG-DVX100. The new AG-HMC150 shares triple CCDs, optical image stabilization, and audio capability with the DVX100, but adds a variety of HD formats including 1080/60i, 1080/30p, and 1080/24p. However, this does not come cheap: The AG-HMC150 costs $6000
The HMC150 is designed to provide enhanced HD production capabilities for video enthusiasts who desire professional features, extended recording capability and the fast workflow. The company has confirmed a basic 13Mbps recording mode but did not give details for the ‘enhanced’ or #higher-level’. Hopefully it will be closer to the AVCHD maximum 24Mbps and show what the format is really capable of. The AG-HMC150 uses standard SDHC cards.
