Dia duit! A big Hello from Ireland at DVinfo.net

Hi guys, my name is Patrick and I'm delighted to finally have had my account activated on these great forums. They have helped me immensely in the past and I hope that I can contribute something to the community by joining in on the debates here.

I've been messing about with cameras since I was knee high to a grasshopper. My first proper one was the venerable Canon UC3000 8mm camcorder that was put to good use throughout the summer of '97 filming the tooings and froings of the massive film crew that came to town in order to shoot Saving Private Ryan's Omaha beach landings. Hollywoods invasion of Europe happened a couple of miles away from my house in Co. Wexford, Ireland!

Recently I've purchased a Canon xh-a1 (whose firewire port died on me a mere month out of warranty), Canon HV20 (as a deck given my firewire issues) and a Sennheiser G3 wireless system.

All the best!
