Video Hardware/Software Response

How was your experience with the Olympus digital camera?
My experience with the Olympus digital camera was alright. I enjoyed taking photos with the camera and felt it was a better experience than the record feature. When I was out in the field I would fill up my card easily. I would find myself recording 1 event at a time, returning home to export it to my pc, thanreturning to the field again.
How did it compare with other still or video cameras you have previously used?
Compared to other cameras I have used so far in my schooling, I felt the Olympus camera was a lower end camera. I dont see myself using the Olympus camera for any of my personal projects. I have to say that the 4.0 mega pixels have a nice quality.
Were you able to successfully implement your Image Capturing Strategies using the features of this camera?
Yes I had fun, enjoyed the experience.
In an ideal world, how would your still/video camera of choice function?
My choice of camera would be a 35mm camera. Panasonic or JVC . One that could be used for documentary shooting or Narrative.
2. Discuss your choice of video-editing software and describe your history with this software. If you used this software for the first time, explain why you chose this particular application and how you think it helped you to accomplish your creative goals (or proved detrimental). Will you use this software again for future projects?
I have experience with Final Cut Pro, but I decided not to take that route, just because I wanted to try something different. The Quick Time Pro experience was very basic. The software was very limited as far as what one could do creatively. I didnt mind working with quicktime pro for the Drift 1 project.
