Further adventures with the Canon G9
The University of Alaska Anchorage is hosting the Division II NCAA West Regional tournament this weekend and for the first game I decided to continue my G9 experiment, this time adding video. The game itself was a bit of disappointment (UAA won 80-60, very few students on hand due to spring break) and I didn’t get much of a story but I am pleased with the results from the camera.
I collected stand-alone audio with an M-Audio 24/96 (which is the dominant sound in the piece) but left the camera’s audio track in place under the video.
I may look like an over-eager parent but this small, light set-up seems promising.

Wow, I’m going to have to get me one of those for sure. That’s pretty nice stuff.
I remember when I started out as a photographer it was all about getting the biggest camera possible to appear like a serious photojournalist. (Also lens size bragging rights)
But after doing it for a while, I kind of wanted to look like a parent on the sidelines. I totally get the attraction to the Leica now. It’s so nice when people stop paying attention to you and you can blend into situations like a fly on the wall.
