Wouldn't be so bad, but the handbooks are anything but clear and simple. I’ve noticed a trend in technology of late, the newer the gadget, the bigger the handbook.

The Waterfield Camera case looks a bit small for the camcorder, but I'm thinking of getting one for my little camera. Glad to be of help.

The case is a canon case, it came as part of a bundle with the camera. As far as I can tell the case isn't available seperately yet. The only place I've been able to find the case is on the UK QVC site (<a href="http://www.qvcuk.com/ukqic/qvcapp.aspx/app.detail/params.item.559276/walk.yah.UKEL-UK20" rel="nofollow">Canon FS100</a>) which has a few other photos of the camera and accessories, including the case. It's a plain black lining, so it didn't show up at all in photos. It is fully padded, although it's quite a soft foam padding so I'm not entirely sure how much protection it would offer. The camera has a built in automatic lens cap, so the case is purely for protection against bumps and scratches. Personally when I get the replacement I'm planning on getting a <a href="http://www.sfbags.com/products/iphonetravelcase/iphonetravelcase.htm" rel="nofollow">Waterfield Pouch</a>. They're not the cheapest thing in teh world, but the construction is excellent and they're far better padded than the canon case, plus extra little padded pockets for spare batteries and spare memory cards (the canon case holds the camera only). I just need to figure out the right size when the replacement arrives. I hope that helps you a bit. allen - Happy to help. The case is a canon case, it came as part of a bundle with the camera.

I've just uploaded a video clip taken at about 8:50pm. There's a little grain, but it gave a clearer image than the naked eye could. I've had to return the camera as it had a slight fault with the software on the Wine version, and I have to wait for more stock before I can get a replacement, so i hope this clip helps as it's the only evening clip I seem to still have on the hard drive. <a href="http://nakedfraggle.com/archive/upload/2008/05/060508movie-3.mpg" rel="nofollow">060508movie-3</a> (approx 10Mb) Allen - Consider it done.

I think I might be a bit of a perfectionist :shock: Who knew? :grin: moonshadow - All fixed, there's two movie clips in the entry, only they're now actually working again... Trust me to break the new journal software already. :oops: Blulady - It certainly is snazzy, I’m just not sure it’s quite “perfect” enough for me… I think I might be a bit of a perfectionist :shock: Who knew? :grin:
