An Amazing Gadget!
I've been constantly bombarded with a lot of emails, tweets, Facebook messages, and YouTube messages about what camera I'm using. Therefore, here's my answer to your question. I'm using a Sony HD Video Camera to shoot my fingers. It has to be a camera fast and clear enough to capture some of my "fake movements to cover my mistakes" LoLz...

Now let's see what others' say about this!
"For the longest time I wanted to buy a camcorder and camera in HD and when I saw Sony's new addition to the family I said this baby is mine. I bought the camcorder just this past October a few days before traveling to Mexico for a wedding and as of now best purchase ever. Please with quality and image. Clear when recording, still getting to know the camera and best of all camera, taking pics as well. THANKS SONY :o)"
"This is my first High Definition Camcorder and I wanted the best. I definitely got it with the xr520v. The videos and pictures are beautiful, the active steadyshot is amazing, as well as the low light quality. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a top quality consumer camcorder."
"I'm an ardant life-long fan of SONY in general and especially for its VAIO and Handycam series, the exquisite technological marvels of 21st Century. My first possession of a SONY Handycam happened on 03/01/2007 when I was in Germany. I feel I'm really lucky to have my first handycam itself as a HD AVCHD Handycam (HDR-SR1E) with Dual Memory (HDD, Memory Stick) Support, especially a 30GB HDD Medium which was very cool! From that day on, I'm very fascinated by my SONY Handycam, its Quality, Features, Compactness, and not to forget, its Looks! I also see that SONY constantly adds New Handycam Models with more and more advanced technology, keeping them as undoubted Market Leaders ["like.no.other"! :-)] by staying at the cutting-edge of Technology. Thus, of late, I feel that the Handycam that I own is a bit outdated, though it is only 2 years old, thanks to the tremendous speed at which SONY has advanced its Technology. So, I have been already looking for a New Model so that I can once again have the pleasure of holding the Latest & Best of SONY Handycams. I even almost locked on to SONY HDR-SR12E. But, somehow my gut feeling was saying me that SONY will surely come up with a New Model very soon, that would be a Block Buster Flagship! I have been even almost on a daily basis looking their web pages recently. And, Today, my joy knew no bounds when I saw SONY HDR-XR520V... Man, This is it, This really is it!!! The one that I have been waiting for!!! Just have a look at the Specifications... and tell me if you are still sitting on your seat! It has the BEST of EVERYTHING that anyone can imagine and still a lot MORE!!! I'm just eagerly waiting for the time it is available... and I'm Counting!!!"
