I had a situation where I went to an exhibition of jade products,
perfect for the CP5000 I thought, after I arrived I found that the
indigenous people of Taiwan were giving dance performances, I missed
recording that event because I had left my video camera behind.


The 8400 does acceptable videos that would have captured the
atmosphere of the moment! I'm not a video enthusiast, but a couple
of three second video bursts certainly added to a journey I made
recently.
Cheers,
David


Yes David, the CP5000 can do video too but I have never used it and
completely forgot about it until I got home.

The point I was trying to make was that it is difficult to be prepared for
all situations when you are travelling and don't really know what's going to
happen.

I did the same as you two years ago - I havd a 5700 and just a couple of
things would have done so much better with movies - very short sequences
just to illustrate a point. I forgot it could do movies. Well, I didn't
actually forget, I never recognised the capability in the first place!
With the 8400 I now try and remember it! I try and travel with the
minimum, so having that extra ability just adds a little.

Cheers,
David
