It gives us great pleasure to announce our new trialist: video blogging legend Mike Atherton. Mike has just posted his first video about his new loaned HG10, which has finally arrived after predictable DHL shenanigans, “wrapped like a small digital burrito”. There’s a brief teaser video of him getting to know the HG10, but he promises much more to come, so be sure to follow his progress on the Sizemore blog.

For another, equally informed perspective on the HG10, have a look at our friend Orville Chomer’s now-completed guide to importing HG10 footage into MovieMaker. The step-by-step tutorial is suitable for camera users of all levels of experience, covering everything from turning on the camera and shooting footage, to installing the software, generating an AVI file and using MovieMaker. As Orville himself says “I went into a lot of gory detail on how to do each step” – take advantage of this real labour of love.
