• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

For those in the market for a new and reasonable priced camcorder the Canon HV20 looks to be a good unit to consider. With the HV10 being relatively popular with no budget video nuts, the new HV20 has something no other consumer camcorder on the market has; the ability to shoot in 24p.

There are a few down sides to this camcorder such as the smaller CCD but regardless at a retail of around $1200 this could be a VERY good unit.

Just for you info.

Too bad they put a CMOS sensor in it. If it is anything like mine(Sony HC1) you won't enjoy any footage that has lightning in it. Some cases, any flashes make your video appear as if it is being hit by the lightning itself. Dan Robinson mentioned this with CMOS sensors before I ever bought mine, so I'm guessing it's likely it'll happen with this camera too.
