Gonna be hard at the competition with the wolf suit, though. I might be stretched a bit too thinly on the team... NAH!
Haha, you sound just like me!!! Switching between Bearcat mascot, videographer (although there were two of us, so that helped), student driver, engineer, scout, match keeper-upper, etc...

We use a Sony Handycam DCR-DVD300, JVC GR-SXM38 SVHS for camcorders, some Canon camera (she just bought it, don't know the exact model still), Sony Vegas 7.0e BARELY running on a HP Compaq 6515b. Couple tripods, two batteries for each camcorder, countless blank media, etc...

Question. For those with mid- to high-end cameras like the Sony HDR FX1 mentioned before, how do you buy those? Is it out-of-pocket, through the club's funds, or do you have access to that sort of equipment? Does Sony give any type of discounts? Last but not least, can somebody PayPal me $1,000 so I can get a nicer camera?
