A guy next to me, with a JVC S-VHSC camera was getting a constant condensation alert on his LCD, whilst I was happily recording away on a night so humid you could flap your arms fast enough to raise your feet off the ground.
Do the camera companies take into consideration where their cameras are being shipped to? I seldom wonder if the reason why the white balance is "automatic" on my camera, is because it was just set to the light/color specs of the inside of some flourescent-bathed manufacturing warehouse in Japan...
Or maybe they figured that more people are staying indoors these days, so they set the camera accordingly...
I'm surprised with the low color smear of my cam, though. (Believe it or not!) I went to the Art Car Museum in Houston and filmed some cars that were decked in everything from Mardi Gras beads to Easter motifs. In other words there was lots of chance for color smear as almost every frame consisted of every color in the rainbow, including a few that I can almost bet they didn't have around for testing, like Pink Foil and Day-Glow Orange.
