Don't forget to try & get audio bytes to cool interviewing questions like what are your 3 favourite childhood memories. You've got the equipment, now use it. BTW, if you bought a 1/4" CCD Panasonic, then your COLOUR is that much better. Oh, not a bad idea to shoot your valuable possessions as a back up for insurance claims. If I were you, I'd take a basic shooting class. I once went through a bunch of footage & cut very brief clips of MY FAVOURITE things like my kids w/glowing eyes around their favourite birthday cake, my smiling wife's beautiful hands lovingly cutting the cake, hot popcorn filling up a big bowl in the winter, warm candles reflections glowing against a cold, blue winter rain etc. I cut all of this to some music (don't want to give away a trade secret) & used a lot of slow motion & VOILA, we've got special memories forever that will always warm our hearts. good luck (Panasonic colours USED to be bluer, Sony's redder, both are excellent!)

(Net profit to date from it and its sister: $97,000 in two years. I'm thinking of upgrading to professional-grade hardware with some of that cash.) But you're probably right about most people buying them for things they'll never actually use them for. I bought mine because I use it for one of my businesses.
