Or the time that I captured some video footage with my superzoom P&S camera
just after sunset in some remote Canadian woods. That of some dark furred
animal walking upright for a long distance in a large clearing. It never
did try to walk on all fours the whole time I watched it travel for about
150 meters, until it finally disappeared in the dense woods . It could
easily be believed to be the legendary "BigFoot". Personally I can't say
what it is. But its gait is clearly human-like. I've only showed it to a
couple close friends that I could trust with seeing it and they urged me to
make it public. But I don't care for that kind of attention or associating
with that kind of crowd. Perhaps after my death someone else might get to
see that video footage.

Having a video-capable camera will become invaluable when you least expect
it.

Yes, although think of the many wonderful shows which are stills with
sound!

Cheers,

Droll! I was thinking of the ones where the stills are visible for
several seconds, perhaps with zooming or tracking.

Cheers,
David
