camcorder reviews, news, how-to and more
Colin
Hello - I'm the person who started SimplyDV back in 2002 and I still own and manage it on a daily basis. Not only do I write and teach about digital video and - in particular - camcorders, but I've worked with the developing technology that is video since the earliest days of portable video recording in the early/mid 1970s so I've seen it grow from virtually nothing to what it is today. I've also spent many years as a video producer and consultant - mostly in the field of coporate communications and education. I continue to earn a living this way even now!
