An awesome story about a guy and his video camera

Some of you might remember that I dropped my Panasonic video camera, a few month ago. I paid $250 for this camera 3 years ago and I really really liked this camera. Great internal storage. 78x zoom. Compact. Very portable. The editing software was easy to use. I dropped it, several months ago, while trying to setup for a video that I was doing and it hasn't worked properly since. I could turn it on but couldn't turn it off without disconnecting the battery. It wouldn't record. I was so bummed.

For some reason, this morning, I decided to pick up that camera and bang it on the counter top (why not? I couldn't hurt it any more). My wife starts laughing at me and tells me, "One more time!" Ok...so I bang the camera on the counter top, one more time. I press the power button and it's working!!!!!!!!! I press the power button again and it turns off!!!!!!! I try to record a quick 10 second video, and it's working!!!!!!! I go to the "playback" feature and the 10 second video begins to playback!!!!!!!!! I press the power button again to turn it off once again...and it turns off!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe it!!!!!! My camera is working again!!!!!!!!!

Just awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep! I've got the weekend off and I'm very happy about that. I just woke up and I put one of my three batteries on the charger before I got on the computer. If all goes well, I'm going to get a lot of flying done this weekend. I just need to find a camera person. I can use my tripod when I take my 500 out because I want to work on the trims a little, but I'll hit the IU switch and play around a bit.
