This is what the professional critics say:

“Fast, cheap, and in you’re control the Panasonic PV-GS19 is the best under-$300 (street price) camcorder we’ve seen this year. With an amazing manual control set and video performance nearly identical to its older sibling, the PV-GS35, this is a big winner for the budget-minded consumer.”

This review is two years overdue but I figure its better late than never. I see this camcorder on ebay and craigslist all the time. Many people wonder, “is it really worth the value?”. This camcorder is very affordable and a great entry level camcorder but thats about all it is. I actually did not unbox this for exactly one year from purchase. I bought it for Sylvia for Christmas two years ago and we did not use it until the following Christmas. The low light performance is comparable to a cell phone camera. The battery holds a long charge and audio recording is fair at best. I am pretty unhappy about this camcorder. Low light performance is so important because unless you are out doors, lighting is always going to be an issue. Below is a sample of a video recorded with the PV-GS19

I posted an employment opportunity on craigslist last friday and the results were as expected. I received several great resumes and portfolios from many people here in Chicago. The irritating side of the craigslist posting was that for every quality candidate that corresponded to me, I received 10 offers from offshore development companies. (more…)

2008 is a new year with new ideas for me. eServerspace which sells dedicated servers and shared hosting is making consistent growth. The company is doing well and we have some great clients who we provide service for. One area that has particularly busy for me has been application development. We have had the opportunity to work on many great projects. Some things I would like to take a little further are some of the websites I currently run. I have a few friends work on CPC/CPA promotions and it looks like an interesting field but I think the same goals can be accomplished with good traffic from niche websites. Obviously it will not be as instant of a results as CPC campaigns.
