[philmont] The old and the new

On Wed, 22 Aug 2007 10:52:23 -0700 (PDT), John LeBlanc <philmontjohn@yahoo.com> jammed all night, and by sunrise was heard saying:

I shot about five 83minute videotapes and around 300 stills on this
years' trek... I'll eventually have the stills on-line, and a watchable
video edited out of all that footage. It was a little painful limiting
myself to just the one video camera (Canon HV10), even with the still
capacity, it's no Nikon F :-) Of course, the tiny camera was supported
with a bunch of batteries, so I'm not sure I necessarily saved much
weight over a monster like the "F".

Looks familiar! I would hope there's less change in the content than the
technology across the years!
