I started very late in film making (only started a few years ago) and I trained on a V300 Dv camera, and my camera is also DV, almost all "new" consumer cameras are going SD card/HDD and I've just now started to get comfortable with DV/film lol. As I am looking at another camera, I'm having to familarize myself with the SD/HDD technologies, so it's taking some serious learning!
From my perspective, someone who films mostly for the art side of it and simple creation, I can take my time I guess in slowly changing over-my livlihood isn't dependent on my films.
Time marches on I guess, just a bit sad to see all the things I am familiar with going into the past.
