Speaking of editing software, what do you guys use to edit? My Canons all render video in quicktime and besides the lengthy conversion process which only works half the time anyway I've yet to find decent editing software. I'm not ready to splurge on a mac book just so I can edit videos. The only thing I've found so far is the youtube editing function which actually does work but it just splices footage together.
As far as the usefulness of video, for me I enjoy sitting back and watching old videos from some places where I might never get back to, that and reminiscing with some old buddies that have moved away or passed on, that's the value for me. And sharing on forums and feeling like a big shot , lol j/k
