5.1 sound on a camcorder
First of all I want to say I think you do an excellent job reviewing the current camcorders on the market. I wanted to know if you are planning on reviewing the Sony HDR-XR100 and the Sony HDR-XR200. I've been looking at these two camcorders and I'm curious if they are as good as the new Canon camcorders on the market. Also I wanted to know your opinion on Sony's 5.1 mic. Is it worth getting a Sony camcorder over a Canon camcorder for this feature? Thank you so much for your time!

I took several pictures to get this effect. My friend pictured here can no longer see. His eyes work, but he can no longer understand what the eyes see.

Also you previously discussed running longer contests or assignments. Have you thought about trying one? I often don't have the time to shoot for the weekly contest and would like to have a monthly objective...

Here is my entry for this weeks contest. This was shot at the spur of the moment.

I have a couple of questions
Do we get more zoom with a sensor smaller than 35mm camera with the same lense ? For instance if I use a 18-55mm lense on a body like D90 would it give have a different optical zoom D700? If that is the case then would it not be better to getter a smaller sensor so we get more zoom with the same lense. Or is that the bigger sensor would compensate for the lack of optical zoom with digital zoom as the pixel size is bigger?
The second question pertains to film cameras. I am curious to know are there any new film DSLR camera out there in the market?
Thanks
Karthik

It's a shot of my most photographed subject, my daughter Annabelle. This is one of my very favorite shots of her. I have a really nice 11x14 of this shot hanging in my office at work.
