And I'm a PC... or something

My take on the "I'm a Mac. And I'm a PC" ads -- my old camera being the PC and new camera being the Mac. I'm actually a PC user, but the joke is still there. I like to think that the inevitability of flaws in my videos adds to their charm. So here's a list of things wrong with this video: 1. The left side doesn't actually look anywhere near as good as it should, because my computer's outdated graphics card limits the quality of video I can edit. So while I have an HD camera now, I can't utilise its full potential yet. 2. I forgot that when you flip a camera's view panel, it flips the view on both the x- and y-axes, which is why the old camera and new camera are on the wrong sides in relation to the ads. 3. On not a single take for the old camera did I wait long enough for the new camera to finish talking, so I had to loop a bit of the old camera's footage. Very unprofessional, but heck if I could be bothered filming again. As per usual, a nice idea, poorly executed. Tell me more in the comments and I'll add them to the list!
