Camden's First Meal

Tonight, we decided to see what would happen if we gave Camden some rice cereal.

We never thought he would pick up on the concept of spoon and food so quickly. He woofed down two bowls and was still wanting more before Marta cut him off and gave him some milk. Click here for more pictures.

I decided to try out the (HD) video feature of Marta's new camera and shot a 1 minute video of Marta feeding Camden. (Video shot at 1280 x 720 (HD 720p) for those of you who care about the tech specs.) As far as the High Definition goes....I'm not sure. It looks HD, but I don't really have anything to compare it to. The size of the file (103 MB) is definitly bigger, especially for a one minute video. It did have some problems with color, but I think it had more to do with me zooming in really tight on Cam's face that the camera couldn't really use the backlight too well (I think.)



My apologies if the above video doesn't play very well for you. It plays back well on the camera (naturally) but when I transferred it to the laptop, it did skip around. I'm not sure but the HD part may force your video player to download stuff or your video card may not support the resolution. There is another setting that I can try that will still produce video in HD. I will give that one a go next time.

Marta's Birthday Present

For Marta's Birthday, I got her a new camera; one that she has been looking at for quite some time now. (The picture below was shot with my camera phone. Sorry but that camera is far from perfect.)

It is a Kodak EasyShare V1233. Now what is cool about this camera, besides the 12 megapixel capability, is it will take HD quality pictures and video! I never thought that we would have an HD camera, but now we do. We haven't shot any video with it yet, so I can't say if the HD part is as advertised, however I can immediately see a difference in photo quality between this camera and the previous one.

Marta shot some pictures of the boys when she got it. We also took it along with us to the Roxborough Elementary Halloween Festival and got some nice shots of Brenden playing some games in his Fireman costume.
