My experience with the Olympus digital camera was good. In my experience, Olympus makes good point and shoot digital cameras. I own a newer version of the same camera, in fact, and while it has a bigger megapixel capacity, it's features were quite similar to the camera used for class. The camera was comparable to my camera, but obviously incomparable to my DSLR Canon 40D camera. Nevertheless, I liked the camera we used for class. I was easily able to successfully implement my Image Capturing Strategies with the features of this camera because it was compact and easy to carry around to take some quick shots or takes. In an ideal world, my camera would be really nice quality and be a video camera that is capable of taking nice DSLR still shots as well. I don't know how that would be possible... but it would be in my ideal world!
For video editing, I used Quicktime because it was recommended and because I bought it at the beginning of the semester for this class. I despised it. I have never used it before, but I think I was expecting something more like Final Cut Pro, which I have used very briefly. I hate how on Quicktime you can't see the line-up of cuts and sound cuts like on Final Cut. It was really hard to re-edit (like take out a short clip, like a still image) after the video was done, because you can't really select it easily. I will not use Quicktime again for future projects. I would rather use Windows Movie Maker, the video software that came free with my computer, than use Quicktime again.
