The Studio DV board is a great buying. For a cheaper price you’ll have the ultimate easy to use device to capture and create your own digital films. Once you’ve solved the configurations problems that can appear on some computers or with some camcorders (as we’ve experienced) the Studio DV will become your best friend to capture, create, share, high quality digital videos in a connected world.
