At the weekend I bought a Canon HG10 camcorder. I believe it’s what people in the know call ‘a lovely piece of kit’. The picture quality is fantastic and the sound is good as far I can tell – I haven’t done a proper test, although I’ve found that the operating buttons are small and fiddly.
Obviously I purchased the camcorder to record all those magical family moment with my new offspring. In addition I’ll be able to make recordings of explanations of the material in by book. How to Think Like a Mathematician: The Movie is born!
I will start by recording some thoughts on writing mathematics as that part is particularly useful for beginners. First I’ll produce a demo version to get feedback. Stay tuned, don’t touch that dial, etc…
