Sony DCR-SR300 6.1MP 40GB Hard Disk Drive Handycam Camcorder with 10x Optical Zoom

Simple & Compact, November 24, 2007
- I made the transition from Hi-8 to Hard Drive Disk (HDD) after an intensive review of all available options. Consumer Reports recently reviewed this camcorder and placed it at the top of it's list.
- The Video is awesome with the recording of 4 GB of Video for 1.5 hrs of recording. Thats huge , you do need a bigger Hard Drive if are gonna save it on your Laptop.
Camera and Camcorder in one, November 13, 2007
I bought this camera because I was tired of lugging around both a camcorder and a hi resolution digital camera. I have had it for a month now, and it fits well for what I wanted. The photos are very sharp and the video is what you would expect from Sony. I do agree that not having a view finder is a disadvantage, but overall I am very happy with this camera.
Worth every penny, June 2, 2007
- No, it's not HD but I honestly don't feel that it's worth paying 2x as much for the marginal (if even noticeable since this camcorder shoots video at 3.1 megapixels) difference in video quality.

As Google gets into the wiki space with Google Sites (the relaunch of Jotspot), all the other little wiki startups out there will need to keep one step ahead.

The latest version includes an updated UI, folders, enhanced access controls and an easy way to customize the look and feel of your wiki page (see the screenshot of a customized TechCrunch page below or this generic demo page).

Out of 414 acre- knowledge City, the APIIC so far auctioned 140 acres,(asr: seems this is Govt. acquired/reserved? land when created Hi-Tech city ) including 60 acres auctioned on Tuesday.

Can you handle suddenly changing terrains?
You have some knowledge of flying but you want to learn more. So you take some professional lessons and a few days later, you are ready to fly on your own.
It’s a big day. You get into the plane and start the engine and you are on the runway. You are just about to ready to take off and something magical happens.
The plane has now transformed into a speedboat - only without the breaks. Before you realize what happened you see that you are going straight towards some big rocks. You are confused, scared but you don’t want to give up and die. You take control and start navigating the dangerous territory
If you are a first-time entrepreneur and want to be one - be prepared to face this. If you are fortunate enough to have GOOD help, you may not notice the sudden change in terrains (product development, financing, hiring, growing, managing boards, mergers, acquisitions, firing…l)
