Ok, so let me ask you where did you buy your DC? I used to buy the electronic products at Broadwxx, but I saw a topic on another forum saying that it's also unreliable... so I really wonder where should I go next time wor... I am seriously considering buying another DC... hehe!
Re: DV, we bought one when my elder daughter was born. We did use it for several times but as DC technology becomes more and more advanced, we now use DC to take video clips instead. It's more convenient and handy, especially when we have to take care of two kids now. Our DV has been on the shelf for over 1 year!
