    Any snowboarders? show yourselfs

    I have skied for 21 years and boarded for 19 years. During college I would only ski one or two days a year though (pre-twin tip fun skis). Now I coach both and am at about 50-50 split. I like to change it up at lunch when I am in Colorado. It tends to mess with people when they see you throw...

    Sony HDR FX1 - Canon GL2

    " anything over 480 is HD? says who? so ntsc, and pal are both hd? The panasonic is not overpriced for what you get." Let me rephrase ... anything over standard definition resolution (in the US that is 480i, 520 or something in PAL) is HD. There are two main flavors, 720p and 1080i. Those...
