Last week I went to talk with my financial advisor. I’m shifting some things around and making sure that we are in better positions when the baby arrives. One of the things I need to make sure and do soon is get some life insurance.
Luckily I am in pretty decent shape so I shouldn’t have too much trouble getting insurance however there are people who have a real difficult time getting insured. People who participate in high risk activities or avocations often have difficulty getting insurance however they can often get high risk life insurance. This would be for people who participate in activities like skydiving, pilots, having heart disease or cancer. I can’t imagine not being able to secure insurance for the well being of my family in the event of my death.
I might not have mentioned it on this blog but my trusty Xacti C4 died. It was a sputter of a death but it is no longer working. It was a tragedy. I can no longer tape Wired Kayaker episodes. I wish I could but no more video camera.
Today however I learned about Sanyo’s latest video camera. This one is called the Xacti HD700 and it is the world’s smallest HDMI camera. For someone who travels all the time, like I do, small is very important. But in this small package big features are packed including a 5x optical zoom. There is also a 12x digital zoom. This camera can zoom up to 60X! It also comes with Adobe Premiere elements 3.0. I have wanted to pick that software up.
I certainly think I need to replace my video camera especially with a child coming. Sanyo was one of my favorites and now with the possibility of getting one that has a 7.1 MP camera and records in 720p would be awesome!
