I have been playing with a Fuji
s6500fd camera, some photography lights (a 7-bulb and a 4-bulb), camera dollies, wireless lapel mics, home-made (by a student) volume adapters, e-cast TV-for-educational-purposes downloads, uploading clips to the school's Clickview video-on-demand server, jamendo.com free music downloads, voice recorders and shotgun mics.
In the last 2 days.
Not everything in that list is new - but everything except the voice recorders are 2010 New Things for me/the school.
This Media Studies gig is fun sometimes :-)
