36, and I'm past my warrenty date! So you can't bring me back for a refund.

Average age?!?!?
 

I may be average, but my age is 44.

Soixante-et-un (61, but it sounds better in French) and still working hard - well, it's more like playing really. What other job would give you a whole studio and the toys to play with and pay you for it???

63. It seems it's taken my entire life to work my way to the end of this thread.

Hi Kate...it's nice to see a fellow New Jerseyan (ite?). You may be the first woman I've run across on the boards. I really hope women will embrace technology in higher percentages and put an end to the boys club. Diversity is the only thing that drives and expands any art-based medium.

Oh dear - I'm 73 and took up video on Wednesday , well I wanted a new hobby and Sky Diving would be pushing my luck a little.

Welcome John! Good to have you with us. Good luck with your new hobby!

73 is a fine age for video
 

That's the cool thing about video. You just sit there and edit. Of course, one does need to go out once in while and shoot, but that's good too.

John, Welcome! It's good to see someone older than I. (Just turned 70 in mid-June.) Remember, not older but better.

I'm one of those 19 year old college kids with a camera. Vive la vie boheme!

55 and still love to get out and video. Started with an old 8mm movie camera I picked up in SEA (Southeast Asia) back in 1969. Jez, that before most of you were born. Anyway, moved up to Super 8mm movie camera, then a Nikon 8mm video, a Sony Hi-8, the XL-1 and now the XL-1s. I will probably go XL-2 in Jan 2006.
