Hi Guys!

After losing the footage of the interview with Travis of A Pyro Design, Beth and I discussed it and decided it was time to upgrade to a actual camcorder to record my videos.

In the last few months my older cellphone, the Samsung S5 has been randomly shutting off while recording videos.  normally I will let it record for 30 seconds and then if it's still recording it will be fine.  The glitch happens very seldom, but when it does it causes problems if its not noticed right away.  During the first 10 seconds of the interview with Travis my cell phone just quit.  It didn't even save the first few seconds of the video.  I was so embarrassed to tell Travis what had happened.  Thankfully he didn't beat me up, but it was the wake up call that I needed to fix this problem for good.

So today Beth took me to Best Buy and we purchased a Canon Vixia HF R800 HD Camcorder.  Thankfully they price matched Amazon.com and gave it to us for $249.00 wich gave us the ability to buy a 3 year warranty on it as well.

Please let me know in the comments below what you think of it?
