I just saw this over at the Daily Wireless. Canon is coming out with a wifi camera for $500. See how easy video podcasting is going to be?

I started doing short video takes on my digital camera this past week: Kung Fu Judy and West Hills Cruise. It was so dang fun. These days, it's alll plug and play. What I did was pretty crude. With a good camera and some of the video blogging packages available, you can be shooting a lot of video and turning them into podcasts or videoblogs, whatever you wish to call it. And with the Canon, you can go online, which I think I still need some time to grok. Display a live webcast? Hmmm.. Hey, where's the phone?

We shot this video with 2 fairly inexpensive digital cameras, and edited it in iMovie:

I disagree with those who think that video production is too laborious for the casual blogger. It's just a matter of point, shoot, and upload. It's almost easier than audio, because the world throws sensory information at a lens more vividly than a mic.
