I found a new button on my camera - 150MB

Just had a Canon 7D and it does films [or movies if you are young or speak
American} anyway I thought I'd try it out. This is a .mov file - it plays
with WM99

That should say it plays with Windows Media Player.

Nice! Would love to see some of your 'down in the valley' stuff in
motion! My camera "does" video, too - but I am not coordinated enough
to make more than wobbly shots that will cost viewers their lunch.

I would think the word "films" has become quite outdated in the
digital age. No more films of plastic with pretty pictures. Despite
the huge stack of slide boxes in the corner, I don't miss film at all.
Only having to change "rolls" every couple thousand pictures is nice;
but I still find myself turning my back to the sun to shade the memory
card when I swap them out... Old dogs, new tricks - bah!

Spot on RustY©, thank you for posting.

I seem to have the same button on my EOS60D - watch this space...

No, no, in the UK films are what you watch at the pictures !
Pictures of course used to be taken on film but not any more.
Complicated, but it helps us to weed out spys and Johnny foreigner.

My next project is to make these files much smaller.

Well said. Vigilance is vital in these troubled times.
