Video Hardware/Software Repsonses

1)
I found the functions of the Olympus camera to be very user-friendly and simple. The controls are similar to any other digital camera I’ve used so I was already familiar with its button interface. I did have some technical difficulties though; the batteries I used to operate the camera didn’t seem to last as long as possible, and when low battery occurred the camera would become very slow and some features would be disabled. The on/off button would not react as fast as it should; this was clearly due to the age of the camera and its great use. My ideal camera would probably be a huge Nikon with a fisheye lens attached. But I would be more than pleased with any new model of a Sony Cyber-Shot, but as of now I’m limited to the camera on my iPhone, which has a surprisingly high resolution.

2)
Final Cut Pro is my editing software of choice, I’m very new to Final Cut but it has similarities to Adobe Premiere Pro, which I’m familiar with. I was able to pick up the basics quickly and although I am not an expert I would like to learn the ins and outs of Final Cut Pro. It’s a very prestigious program and I’m very motivated to master it and continue to use it despite how complicated and endless it seems.
