A little more than a year ago, I purchased a Casio Exilim EX-Z850 digital camera, which, for the most part, I’ve used to shoot a variety of interviews. Whether I use it as a hand held, or mounted on a tripod, I’ve been very happy with the quality of the image I’ve gotten from the Casio.

Here’s the latest video I shot, an impromptu interview with Washington Caps draftee Andrew Glass. I shot this early on Saturday afternoon a few minutes after the final scrimmage of this year’s development camp:

With another Summer upon me, it’s time to experiment again. So last night I strode into a local consumer electronics shop, and picked up the Aiptek A-HD+ 1080p, a hand held HD video camera for less than half of what I paid for the Casio Exilim.

I’ll be testing the Aiptek out over the next few weeks and let you know how things work out.
